No, it can’t. The property of a triangle: the sum of all angles in the triangle is equal to 180°. An isosceles triangle has two angles of the same measure at the base. So if it has an obtuse angle at the base, it has two obtuse angles. The obtuse angles – the angles which are larger than a right angle and smaller than a straight angle (between 90° and 180°) => their sum will be more then 180°. So a triangle can not contain two obtuse angles and thus it can’t have an obtuse angle at the base.
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
