Triangle FGH is an obtuse triangle. The greatest angle in the triangle has a measure of (6°·d). What are the possible values of "d"?
The greatest angle in an obtuse triangle is the obtuse angle. 

An obtuse angle has measure greater than 90° and less than 180°.

Its measure is 6°·d, so

      90° < 6°·d < 180°

Divide all three sides by 6°

       <  <  

      15 < d < 30

So d is between 15 and 30.
