What is the difference between an obtuse scalene triangle and an acute isosceles triangle?
The word 'Triangle' means 'three angles' more archaicly, a 'trigon'. It is also a collective noun for different shapes of triangles.
OBTUSE ; one of the angles in a triangle is greater than 90 degrees. By summation it means the other two angles musr be less than 90 degrees,
SCALENE ; All the sides and all the angles are different. This type of triangle my exhibit obtuse characteristics.
ACUTE ISOSCELES ; All the angles are less than 90 degrees. Two of the three angles are the same size, and two of the three sides are the same length. NB It is possible to have an OBTUSE Isosceles. triangle.
There is a fourth type of triangle, which is a 'RIGHT ANGLED' triangle. In this case one angle is 90 degrees. This type of triangle may be ISOSCELES or SCALENE.
NB For ALL triangles, drawn on a plane surface, the sum of the interior angles is ALWAYS 180 degrees. However, for triangles drawen on a curved surface; a sphere , the EARTH, the sum of the interior angles may add up to 360 degrees.
What else can I help you with?
True or false An isosceles triangle can be scalene?
Absolutely false. A scalene triangle by definition has no side equal to another. An isosceles triangle by definition has two equal sides.
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.
What does an isosceles and scalene triangles look like?
an isosceles triangle has only 2 equal length sides and a scalene triangle has no equally lengthen sides. obviously they are in the shape of a triangle.
How many lines of symmetry are there in a triangle?
In an equilateral triangle: 3 In an isosceles triangle: 1 In a scalene triangle: 0
How do you find which triangle if you know the lengths of the sides of a triangle whether it is isosceles or equilateral or scalene?
You look at the lengths of the sided of the triangle. If the two lengths are same, the triangle is an isosceles triangle. If all the lengths are same, the triangle is an equilateral triangle. If none of the lengths are same, the triangle is a scalene triangle.
What is the difference between an isosceles triangle and a scalene triangle?
An isosceles triangle has two equal side; a scalene triangle has no two equal sides.
What is the difference isosceles triangle and a scalene?
An isosceles triangle has two (or more) sides of equal length, while a scalene triangle has no correlation between side lengths/angle size.
What is the difference between a scalene and isosiles triangle?
A scalene triangle has 3 unequal sides whereas an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides
What is the difference between a scalene an isosceles and an equilateral triangle?
A scalene triangle has 3 sides of different lengths An isosceles triangle has 2 sides of equal lengths An equilateral triangle has 3 sides of equal lengths
How do you draw an isosceles scalene triangle?
You cannot. An isosceles triangle cannot be scalene and a scalene triangle cannot be isosceles. So an isosceles scalene triangle cannot exist.
Is a scalene always isosceles?
No. A scalene triangle is never isosceles. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. A scalene triangle has none.
Is a scalene triangle an isosceles triangle?
yes a scalene triangle is a isosceles triangle.* * * * *No. A scalene triangle is not an isosceles triangle. The sides of a scalene triangle must all be of different lengths. In an isosceles triangle two of the sides must be the same length. If all three sides are different (scalene) then two cannot be the same (isosceles).
Is a scalene triangle an is isosceles triangle?
yes a scalene triangle is a isosceles triangle.* * * * *No. A scalene triangle is not an isosceles triangle. The sides of a scalene triangle must all be of different lengths. In an isosceles triangle two of the sides must be the same length. If all three sides are different (scalene) then two cannot be the same (isosceles).
Is a right triangle an equilateral scalene or isosceles triangle?
It can be scalene or isosceles but not equilateral.
What is the difference between a isosocels and a scalene triangle?
A isosceles triangles has two sides of equal length while a scalene has none of equal length.
Can an isosceles triangle be scalene?
it's false that the isosceles triangle can be scalene.......
Can a isosceles triangle can be scalene.?
An isosceles triangle can never be a scalene triangle but it can take the shape of a right angle triangle
