- Use the bezier tool to draw a straight line using control key to keep it horizontal.
- Select line then use the "edit path" tool (F2) to select the line.
- Add a node by clicking the "add node" button, looks like a plus-sign ("+").
- Drag the new node up or down with control key pressed.

You now have the 3 points and the obtuse angle drawn.

- Use bezier tool to draw from the end points to connect across the base of the triangle, you may need to adjust your snapping settings for this.
- If you want a single path then select the 2 paths drawn and use "combine" (ctrl+k).

Works for me! HTH.

Can you help with this problem?
