Help plz I got a new Math problem that said this " Which letter has two obtuce angles? " ( My sis is " smartybrat" ) if you can answer it go by "Maddy .H."

What do you think?
To answer the math problem, we need to understand what obtuse angles are and which letters could have two obtuse angles.
Obtuse angles are angles that measure more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. So, we need to look for letters that have two angles that are greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
Let's go through each letter of the alphabet and identify the shapes associated with them.
The letter M has two straight lines slanting downward and two upward, forming a "V" shape. None of the angles in the letter M are obtuse angles.
The letter A typically has three lines, two slanting lines meeting at a point and one horizontal line connecting them. In the letter A, none of the angles are obtuse angles.
The letter D has one straight line and a semicircle attached to it, making it look like an open letter O. The angle at the top of the letter D is an obtuse angle. However, since the problem asks for a letter with two obtuse angles, the letter D does not fit the criteria.
The letter Y has one straight line with two slanting lines connected to it at the bottom end, forming a "V" shape. None of the angles in the letter Y are obtuse angles.
Now let's take a closer look at the letter H. The letter H has two vertical lines connected by a horizontal line in the middle. Both the angles at the top and bottom of the letter H are obtuse angles because they are greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.
Therefore, the letter H is the letter that has two obtuse angles.
You were close with your guess "Maddy .H." The correct answer is the letter H.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to approach and solve similar problems in the future!
