Claire says that she can draw an obtuse equilateral triangle. Is she correct? Explain.

No, she is not correct. an obtuse triangle is a triangle with angles equal to more than 90. An equilateral triangle has all triangle measures 60. since 60<90, Clarie is making a false statement

No, because an equilateral triangle is also equiangular so all sides must be 60° (60+60+60=180) and an obtuse angle is more than 90° so the triangle would not be equilateral.

Hope I Helped (:
