Scalene = yes it is possible (example: 105 degrees, 5 degrees, 70 degrees)

Right = No, the reason why is because the remaining angles must add to 90 which is less than a right angle. So it's impossible to have one angle over 90 degrees.

Acute = Also no. All three angles are less than 90 degrees

Isosceles = Yes. It is possible. One example would be 120 degrees, 30 degrees, 30 degrees.
