No, a scalene triangle is simply one that has three unequal sides. An obtuse triangle is one that has one angle of greater than 90 degrees.

As an example, this page shows three different scalene triangles:

The one on the left is a right triangle. The one in the middle is obtuse. The one on the right is acute.

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 a obtuse a scalene in a triangle?

The definition of an obtuse triangle is a triangle with an angle exceeding 90o. A scalene triangle is a triangle in which no two sides are of equal length. Therefore, it is possible that an obtuse triangle is a scalene triangle. However, it is also possible for an obtuse triangle to be an isosceles, in which two sides are of equal length. On a final note, it is impossible for an obtuse triangle to be an equilateral; equilateral triangles always have angles of 60o.

Is a scalene triangle is obtuse.?

It is impossible to have an obtuse AND scalene triangle, because in order for it to be obtuse, it must have one obtuse angle but, in order for a triangle to be scalene it must have two equivalent sides. So, in the end if you have an obtuse and scalene triangle, it is not longer a triangle.
