What is the greatest number of obtuse angles a triangle can contain?

Only one. Obtuse angles are greater than 90 degrees, and a triangle has interior angles that equal 180 degrees in total, so any more than one means interior angles greater than 180. Hope this helps!

I think 1 because if you had 2 you'll end up with a shape that is greater than 180 degrees. Keep in mind obtuse angles a over 90 degrees. hope that helped
