No, because the sum of the measures of all 3 angles in a triangle is 180%5Eo ,
and two obtuse angles, each measuring more than 90%5Eo , would already add up to more than 180%5Eo .
If one angle is obtuse (measuring more than 90%5Eo ),
the measures of the other two angles must add to less than 90%5Eo ,
so those other two angles must be acute.
