Triangles are used in surveying a lot and unfortunately things are rarely the same distance away from a surveyor so scalene triangles are often used to find such distances.

More Information

Actually, scalene triangles don't have a specific "use." A scalene triangle is simply one in which the three sides are three different lengths. Like triangles in general, scalene triangles connect three points that can describe (or establish) a plane.

In land surveying, right triangles are vastly more useful and are generally used to quantify a distance and/or a bearing.
