Answer:

Yes , 0.5°

Explanation:

We know that in a isosceles triangle , two sides are equal and therefore two angles are also equal. If one of the angles is 179° then ,

⇒ 179 + 2x = 180

⇒ 2x = 180 - 179

⇒ 2x = 1

⇒ x = 0.5°

Yes it's possible to draw a isosceles triangle with one of the obtuse angles as 179° and the other angles will be 0.5° .

Yes it's possible.
