Diameter means center angle 180 so max possible angle is 90.

If two vertices (of a triangle inscribed within a circle) are opposite each other, they lie on the diameter. By the inscribed angle theorem, the angle opposite the arc determined by the diameter (whose measure is 180) has a measure of 90, making it a right triangle.

Hello everyone.

Am kind of confused with the answer to this question being C. isnt the largest angle of a triangle inscribed in a circle 90 degrees, and given the number of degrees in a right angle triangle is 180 degree, shouldnt the answer be B?

It says degrees in a Right Angle, not the Right Angled Triangle. Carcass got you through world play!
