Is it possible for the trapezoid to have exactly one [interior] obtuse angle? yes or no? if yes, draw. If no, explain.

The trick is to draw a trapezoid with 
two interior right angles.  Then one 
of the remaining two interior angles
will be acute and the other obtuse. 

Here's an example:

|90°      120°\

|               \
|90°          60°\C
