Yes, it's quite simple. First, let's define what a scalene obtuse triangle is and in so doing show that a scalene obtuse triangle CAN be constructed.

'Scalene' means that all three sides are not equal (of different lengths).

'Obtuse' means that at least one of the angles is greater than (>) 90o.

So, as long as the triangle has 3 sides that are not equal and contains one angle that is >90o, you can create a scalene obtuse triangle.

Another way to make sure you can construct the aforementioned is:

If you know the lengths of the triagle sides you can add any two(2) of them the sum of which should be greater than the length of the 3rd side. This is know as the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Under the Resources link, there is a website to construct a scalene obtuse triangle as proof.

Can you draw a scalene obtuse triangle?

Yes. Scalene simply means that a triangle's sides are all different lengths. Obtuse means that a triangle has an obtuse angle. Therefore, you can have an obtuse scalene triangle.


Is it impossible to draw an obtuse scalene triangle?

The answer is no.


Which type of triangle is impossible to draw?

right obtuse triangle


Which of the following triangles are impossible to draw?

a right obtuse triangle, a scalene triangle, and a right equilateral triangle


How you draw an obtuse scalene triangle?

Draw a triangle with one obtuse angle (more than 90 degrees), where none of the side lengths or angles are equal to each other.


What triangles is impossible to draw right obtuse triangle right scalene triangle acute isosceles triangles or a obtuse scalene triangle?

A triangle can only have 1 right angle or 1 obtuse angle in it because its 3 interior angles add up to 180 degrees


Can you Draw a scalene triangle?

Yes. Scalene simply means that a triangle's sides are all different lengths. Obtuse means that a triangle has an obtuse angle. Therefore, you can have an obtuse scalene triangle.


How do you draw an obtuse scalene triangle?

One angle must be an obtuse angle and the other two angles must be acute angles


Can you draw an obtuse scalene triangle?

Draw two lines AB and AC that meet at point A. The angle BAC is greater than 90° but less than 180°. Let AB > AC. Draw a third line BC to complete the triangle so that BC is not equal to AB or AC. The triangle is a scalene triangle containing an obtuse angle.


Is it possible to draw an obtuse scalene triangle?

Yes providing its other two acute angles are of different sizes


How can you draw a triangle with two obtuse angles?

You can draw a triangle with two obtuse angles in a sphere


How do you draw an isosceles scalene triangle?

You cannot. An isosceles triangle cannot be scalene and a scalene triangle cannot be isosceles. So an isosceles scalene triangle cannot exist.
