I believe a scalene triangle CAN have a right angle.
Def of scalene tri: a triangle with no equal sides, and no equal angles.
A triangle with angles of 90, 29, and 61. Sides of 15.0, 27.0, and 30.9
this satisfies the definition.
If you look at it the other way: can a right triangle be non-scalene, and there is only one possibility: the isosceles right triangle (45°, 45°, 90°), with sides (square_root(2), 1, and 1). It's not possible for an equilateral triangle to have a right angle. So all other right triangles are scalene (but not all scalene triangles are right triangles).

JordanA scalene or any other kind of triangle can have no more than one right angle, because a right angle = 90 degrees, a triangle must have total interior angles of 180 degrees and must have three angles. If there were two right angles, the third angle would have to be zero degrees, and the supposed triangle would be a straight line.

What is a Scalene right triangle?
A scalene right triangle is a triangle that has no congruent sides and and one right angle.
Does an equilateral triangle right triangle isosceles triangle or a scalene triangle have 1 obtuse angle?
Either an isosceles or a scalene triangle can have one right angle.
Can a isosceles triangle can be scalene.?
An isosceles triangle can never be a scalene triangle but it can take the shape of a right angle triangle
Different kinds of triangle?
there is equilateral triangle, right triangle, isosceles triangle, obtuse triangle, acute triangle, scalene triangle and oblique triangle
What are the names of the triangles?
Equilateral Triangle, Isosceles Triangle, Scalene Triangle, Right-angle triangleAcute Triangle Obtuse Triangle Right Triangle
Does a salene have a right angle?
If you meant scalene triangle, then it may have a right angle. By definition, a scalene triangle is a triangle with no angle or side measures that are the same. For example, a 30,60,90 triangle is scalene.
What is a Scalene right triangle?
A scalene right triangle is a triangle that has no congruent sides and and one right angle.
Does scalene have a right angle?
A Scalene triangle does not have a right angle because the triangle is all different angles so...
Does an equilateral triangle right triangle isosceles triangle or a scalene triangle have 1 obtuse angle?
Either an isosceles or a scalene triangle can have one right angle.
Is it true or false that a right triangle can be scalene?
A right angle triangle can be scalene. Such a triangle has one right angle, two other unequal angles and no equal sides
A scalene triangle as no equal sides?
A scalene triangle has no equal sides and no right angle.
How many right angles in a scalene triangle?
Any triangle can have a maximum of one right angle. Most right triangles are scalene triangles. The only non-scalene right triangle is a 45° - 45° - 90° isosceles right triangle. It is not possible to have an equilateral right triangle in plane geometry. A scalene triangle does not have to have a right angle, but it can have one.
Can a isosceles triangle can be scalene.?
An isosceles triangle can never be a scalene triangle but it can take the shape of a right angle triangle
Can a scalene triangle also be a right angle triangle?
yes it can be
Is every right angle a scalene triangle?
No.
Can scalene triangle be right angled?
No, but a isosceles triangle can be a right angle triangle if it has a 90 degrees angle and two 45 degrees angles.
What is the name for a triangle with one right angle is it scalene or isosceles or equilateral?
scalene
