Either an isosceles or a scalene triangle can have one right angle.
A non-isosceles right triangle is a right triangle (one angle is 90 degrees) and all sides are of different lengths. (therefore causing all angles to be different too). This type of triangle is known as a right scalene
You must have more information about the triangle. If you know the angles, and two of them are equal, it is an isosceles triangle. If all three of the angles are sixty-degrees, it is an equilateral triangle. If none of the angles are the same, it is a scalene triangle. If one of the angles is ninety degrees, it is a right triangle (right triangles may also be scalene or isosceles). If you know the side lengths and two of them are equal, it is isosceles. If they are all equal, it is equilateral. If none of them are equal, it is scalene. A scalene or isosceles triangle may also be a right triangle, which you could determine from side lengths using the pythagorean theorem.
An isosceles triangle.* * * * *An equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry, while an isosceles triangle has only one, and any other triangle (non-isosceles right triangle, or scalene triangle) has zero.
With three different angles in the corners: Scalene With one different angles in a corner: Isosceles With all the same angles: Equilateral
