A scalene has three sides of unequal lengths, and all threes angles different.
The largest angle defines the triangle¹:
- acute: a scalene triangle could have sides 6, 9, 10
- right angle: a scalene triangle could have sides 6, 8, 10
- obtuse: a scalene triangle could have sides 6, 7, 10
So a scalene triangle could be any of acute, right angle or obtuse.
¹In terms of acute, right angle or obtuse. Triangles can also be defined in terms of their sides: equilateral (all three sides equal), isosceles (two sides equals) or scalene (no sides equal)

Is a triangle an equilateral triangle or a obtuse triangle or scalene triangle or a right triangle?
A triangle can be constructed into any of the given formats.
Are scalene triangle always obtuse?
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: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ScaleneTriangle.html 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 name all of of the triangles for math?
equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, and isoceles triangle Also, acute, obtuse, and right
Is it possible to have a right scalene triangle?
scalene triangles means that no three sides have the same length. which means that Yes it is possible to have a right scalene triangle since the only requirement you need for a right triangle is to have a right angle
How are a right triangle and a scalene triangle different?
They need not be. You can have a right scalene triangle.
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.
Different kinds of triangle?
there is equilateral triangle, right triangle, isosceles triangle, obtuse triangle, acute triangle, scalene triangle and oblique triangle
Does an obtuse triangle have to be scalene?
No. An obtuse triangle can be isosceles. It just can't be a right or equilateral triangle.
Which type of triangle is impossible to draw?
right obtuse triangle
Does an equilateral triangle right triangle isosceles triangle or a scalene triangle have 1 obtuse angle?
Either an isosceles or a scalene triangle can have one right angle.
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.
A scalene triangle can also be an what triangle?
a scalene can be a right-angled triangle or a obtuse angled triangle or a acute angled triangle depending on the angles of the triangle.
Why can't a scalene triangle be obtuse?
A scalene triangle CAN be obtuse. A scalene triangle just has to have different measurement on all three sides.
What triangles is impossible to draw right obtuse triangle right scalene triangle acute isosceles triangles or a obtuse scalene triangle?
A triangle can only have 1 right angle or 1 obtuse angle in it because its 3 interior angles add up to 180 degrees
What is the difference between an scalene right triangle and a scalene obtuse triangle?
A scalene triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths. The difference between a scalene right triangle and a scalene obtuse triangle is that in the first one, we can find the measure length of the third side when we know the lengths of the two other sides, and in the second one we cannot.
Which of the following triangles are impossible to draw?
a right obtuse triangle, a scalene triangle, and a right equilateral triangle
What is a triangle with 95 degrees?
Obtuse
