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.
