Question

A triangle has two sides that are perpendicular. Could the triangle be isosceles, equilateral, or scalene? Explain.

Answer 1

It could only be scalene or isosceles ... an equilateral triangle has all 60 degree angles
Isosceles- 90-45-45 degrees
Scalene- 90-35-55 degrees

Answer 2

Isosceles and scalene

Explanation:

Isosceles triangle means two angles must be equal and one angle 90 degrees. It is called isosceles right triangle.

We know that one angle is 90 degrees

90 -45-45 degrees

This could be scalene triangle, the other two angles must add upto 90 degrees

It could be 30 and 60 or any other combination.

90-60-30

The answer is Isosceles and scalene

Hope this will helpful.
