No, it is not. An equilateral triangle has 3 congruent angles. For this to be true, all angle measurements in an equilateral triangle would need to be 60 degrees, which cannot be obtuse.

Hope this helps!

It is not possible. Each angle in an equilateral triangle must be 60 degrees. 60 degrees is an acute angle.
