Answer:

the third obtuse angle is 110°.

Explanation:

From the question, the 0s at the back of the given angles are meant to be degrees (°), since the sum of angles in a triangle cannot exceed 180°.

Hence, The question would be:

The two angles of an obtuse triangle are 23° and 47°. Find the third obtuse angle .

Explanation:

In a triangle, there are three (3) angles which sum up to 180°.

Two of the angles are given which are 23° and 47°. Now, to determine the third angle which is an obtuse angle.

(NOTE: An obtuse angle is a type of angle that is greater than 90° but less than 180°).

Let the third obtuse angle be x

Then , we can write that

23° + 47° + x = 180° (Sum of angles in a triangle)

Then,

70° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 70°

x = 110°

Hence, the third obtuse angle is 110°.
