What is the measure of an angle 90 degrees greater than the measure of an obtuse angle?

  1. Acute

  2. Right

  3. Reflex

  4. Obtuse

The correct answer is: Acute

An obtuse angle measures greater than 90 degrees, so an angle 90 degrees greater than an obtuse angle would be equal to an obtuse angle plus 90 degrees. This would result in a reflex angle, as a reflex angle measures greater than 180 degrees. A right angle measures exactly 90 degrees and cannot be classified as 90 degrees greater than an obtuse angle. Therefore, the correct answer is an acute angle which measures less than 90 degrees.
