How can I prove that a 123° angle isn't an obtuse

Miracrown (miracrown):

Obtuse means larger than 90 degrees, so 123 degrees is obtuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically you can't prove this :v is false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that. But Im Doing converses and I need to prove that a 123° angle isn't a obtuse

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Have you answered it as obtuse in your test ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The converse of the question I just asked

Miracrown (miracrown):

@ganeshie8 remember we can't help with tests

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Converse or inverse of a statement need not be true... what exactly is the complete problem ?

Miracrown (miracrown):

the converse of the statement is true but the statement itself is false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I need to prove that it's not true.. Making if false is what I'm suppose to be doing and this is not a test I need help with homework this is homework

Miracrown (miracrown):

hmm, can you share a screenshot of the entire problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How

OpenStudy (freckles):

Is the question: "Prove 123 deg angle is obtuse"?

OpenStudy (dan815):

ya i think its a proof by contradiction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

More than 90 degrees = Obtuse angle 90 degrees = Right angle Less then 90 degrees = acute angle 180 degrees = straight angle There is no way to prove that a 123 degree angle is not an obtuse, because it is and always will be an obtuse angle.
