Well, in order for a shape to be a triangle, it can only have one right angle. Therefore, it is called a right triangle.

Can a right triangle be scalene?

I do not think so. Scalne has 3 sides of equal length. You need 90 degrees to form a right angle and trinagles are 180 degrees with three sides. so the answer is NO.Actually a scalene triangle has no congruent sides. An equilateral triangle is the triangle which has three sides of equal length. Therefore, it is logical that a right triangle can also be scalene.That is tru.:Da right triangle can be scalene because a scalene is a triangle that has no sides of equal length. :Dim so smart. >.
