No, they are not always obtuse, because a scalene triangle can also sometimes be an obtuse triangle (meaning that one interior angle is obtuse), making one exterior angle acute. Scalene triangles also can be a right triangles (meaning that one interior angle is a right angle), which would make an exterior angle a right angle. Then also they can be acute triangles, in this case all 3 exterior angles are obtuse.

Triangle with no equal sides angles or sides?

A triangle with no equal sides or angles will always be classified as 'scalene'.


What angles do a scalene triangle have?

-- A scalene triangle has three interior angles and three exterior angles. -- The sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees, and no two of them are equal. -- The sum of the exterior angles is also 180 degrees, and no two of them are equal. -- The sum of each interior angle and its adjacent exterior angle is 180 degrees.


Are two angles of a scalene triangle congruent sometimes never or always?

A scalene triangle is a triangle in which all three sides and all three angles are different. Therefore two angles of a scalene triangle are NEVER congruent.


Does a scalene triangle always has three acute angles?

No, not always


Which type of triangle always has all its sides and angles unequal?

scalene triangle


Does a scalene triangle always have angles of unequal measures?

YES.


Is a scalene triangle always an obtuse triangle.?

A scalene triangle can have an obtuse angle and two different acute angles or three different acute angles but all angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees.


What are the exterior angles on a triangle?

The sum of the exterior angles of a triangle is always 360 degrees. Therefore, each exterior angle of a triangle measures 120 degrees.


What is the sum of exterior angles in a triangle?

The exterior sum of the angles of any polygon including a triangle is always 360 degrees.


Does a scalene triangle have congruent angles?

No, An equilateral triangle has 3 congruent angles, an isosceles triangle has 2 congruent angles, a scalene triangle has no congruent angles.


What is a triangle with no equal sides and no equal angles?

A triangle with no equal sides and no equal angles is called a scalene triangle. In contrast, a triangle with equal sides and equal angles is called an equilateral triangle. A triangle with two equal sides and two equal angles is an isosceles triangle.


A scalene triangle has 2 scalene angles also?

does a equilateral triangle have 2 interior angles
