No.
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the 3 angles of a triangle equals 180.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BB%2BC=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "If two angles (A,B) are greater than 90, then their sum would be greater than 180.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BB=180%2BDELTA\"
\n" ); document.write( "where \"DELTA\" is some arbitrarily small positive amount.
\n" ); document.write( "Then substituting into eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " 1.\"A%2BB%2BC=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"180%2BDELTA%2BC=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"DELTA%2BC=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=-DELTA\"
\n" ); document.write( "We've shown that the remaining angle (C) would need to be negative to make the sum equal 180.
\n" ); document.write( "That's not possible, therefore two obtuse angles would not be allowed in a triangle.
