Of course it is possible. An obtuse triangle is a triangle that has one angle that is greater than 90 degrees. So you could sketch one that had a 120 degree angle and another that has a 150 degree angle. You could also sketch two triangles with a 120 degree angle that just had different length sides -- they would be similar but not congruent.
