Why can't a triangle have more than one obtuse angle?

A triangle with one angle greater than 90 degrees is an obtuse triangle. There are other names for triangles that are based, at least in part, on their angles. For instance, a right triangle has one right angle, which is 90 degrees. The degrees of the other two angles add up to 90, for a total of 180 degrees.
