That depends on what you know about the triangle. The easiest way to calculate the area is to calculate (1/2) x base x height, where the base is any side, and the height is perpendicular to the base. Other formulae exist for special cases, for example, for the case that you only know the length of the three sides.

How do you find the lateral area of a scalene triangle without the height?
only solids have "lateral area". triangles have "area". the area of a scalene triangle is given by heron's formula. height not needed.
How are a right triangle and a scalene triangle different?
They need not be. You can have a right scalene triangle.
What common objects have a scalene triangle?
a ramp is a scalene triangle
How can the distance formula help you determine if the triangle is scalene isosceles or equilateral?
Use the distance formula to calculate the distances between the three vertices. If they are all different, the triangle is scalene, if only two are the same, the triangle is isosceles, and if they are all the same, the triangle is equilateral.
A scalene triangle has how many equal sides?
A scalene triangle has no equal sides.
