What is scalene in math?
the word scalene triangle means...a scalene triangle is a triangle with all different sizesone side can be 3cm long the other one can be 7cmlongand finaly the last one can be 10cm long
What type of triangle has one side twice as long as the other side?
A right triangle. * * * * * Not necessarily. All that can be said is that is is not an equilateral triangle. It can be isosceles or scalene. It can be acute angled, right angled or obtuse angled.
What shape has three long sides and 3 short sides in the shape of a triangle?
An irregularly truncated hexagon.
How long perimeter Triangle 4cm side?
If it is an equilateral triangle with 3 equal sides of 4m then its perimeter is 12cm
Can a triangle have a acute and obtuse angle?
definitely., but you cannot have a right triangle., no matter how many degrees you have as long as it's total is 180 within three sides., it is a triangle i hope this helped you
How many inches is a scalene triangle?
A scalene triangle can be the size of a mosquito or the size of a city. The only thing you know about it is that no two of its sides are equal. If you only know that it's a scalene triangle, then there's no way to know how long any of its sides is.
Scalene right triangle?
A scalene triangle has three sides of different lengths. A right triangle can be scalene - for instance the '3-4-5' triangle has a right angle opposite the side which is 5 units long.
How big is a scalene triangle?
A scalene triangle is defined as a triangle in which each of the 3 sides has a different length; this does not specify any specific size. They can be as small or as large as you like, as long as the 3 sides are all of different length.
Can a acute triangle also be scalene?
Scalene means the triangle has 3 sides unequal length. Acute means the triangle has 3 acute angles (less than 90o). So you should be able to draw a scalene acute triangle pretty easily. An equilateral triangle has all sides the same length and all angles are 60o. If you stretch one side a little, and shrink another side a little you will have a scalene triangle. And as long as you haven't stretched or shrunk the sides too far, it will also still be acute.

What kind of triangle has one side that is 3 cm long one side that is 2cm long and one side that is 4 cm long?
a scalene triangle, has no sides or angles the same size
Can you draw a scalene obtuse triangle explain?
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 a triangle be obtuse and scalene?
Yes! A scalene triangle is one where none of the 3 sides are equal. An obtuse triangle is one where one of the angles is greater than 90 degrees. So, for example, a triangle whose angles were 100, 45 & 35 (the 3 must equal 180) will be obtuse and scalene.
What is the numbers for a scalene triangle?
They can be anything at all, just as long as no two of them are the same. If that happens, then you don't have a scalene triangle any more.
Can a right angle triangle also be a scalene triangle?
yes as long as neither of the other angles are 45 degrees it can be scalene but it can not possibly be equilateral
HOW DO YOu classify triangles based on the side lengths?
Triangles are not classified by the length of their sides, but by their shapes. A right triangle, for example, is a triangle which includes one 90o angle. This is true regardless of the size of the triangle; it could have sides a thousand miles long or a thousandth of an inch long and still be a right triangle, as long as it has that 90o angle. An equilateral triangle has three sides which are all of the same length. This is true, again, regardless of the size of the triangle. The three sides could all be a million miles long, or they could be microscopic, but if they are all the same length, then the triangle is equilateral.It would be better to ask about classifying triangles by the relative lengths of their sides.If all the sides are different lengths, we class it as a Scalene Triangle. (Note that all three angles also are different.)If exactly two sides have the same length we call it an Isosceles triangle (Note that two of the angles also are the same size. And try to get the spelling right!!!)If all three sides are the same length, we call it an Equilateral triangle. (If you like you could say that it is a special case of an isosceles triangle). All three angle are the same and they always are sixty degrees each.
What could be the measures of the sides of an isosceles triangle?
It would depend how long it is.
