no,two obtuse angles can't form a linear pair.
as sum of linear pair is 180°, and obtuse angle 180°>90° that's why it can't.

Answer:
Two obtuse angles cannot form a linear pair.
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear pair:
- Linear pair of angles are the adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect at a point.
- The sum of the adjacent angles of a linear pair is always equal to 180°.
- They always make a straight line.
Obtuse angle:
- Obtuse angle is an angle whose measure is greater than 90° and less than 180°.
Obtuse angle is greater than 90°.
So, when two obtuse angles are added, their sum of angles will be greater than 180°.
Therefore, they cannot make a linear pair.
As shown in the figure, if , to make it a linear pair, the , which is an acute angle.
If the angle is more than 85°, it do not make a linear pair.
Therefore, the answer is no. Two obtuse angles cannot form a linear pair.
