If a triangle has a right angle (90°), and also two equal angles, can you guess what the equal angles are?

The Obtuse Triangle has an obtuse angle (an obtuse angle has more than 90°). In the picture on the left, the shaded angle is the obtuse angle that distinguishes this triangle. Since the total degrees in any triangle is 180°, an obtuse triangle can only have one angle that measures more than 90°.
