There's an infinite list of 3-number sets that can be the lengths of the sides of a
right triangle. The only fact that's true of all of them is:
(square of the length of the longest side) = (sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.)

It is a scalene triangle other than a right angle triangle
isosceles triangle
No the given measurements would not make a triangle because in order to construct a triangle the sum of its smallest sides must be greater than its longest side.
The three sides of a right triangle are represented by the variables a, b, and c. The variable calways represents the longest side. You can write the formula used above as . a-squared+ b-squared= c-squared
If it's not a right angled triangle and you don't have any of the angles but have the values of all three sides, then you need to use something called the Cosine Rule.
