Question

Classify the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse and classify it as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene.

triangle with one dash on each of the three sides.

A. obtuse, isosceles
B. acute, equilateral
C. acute, scalene
D. obtuse, equilateral

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

If none of the sides of a triangle are equal (of equal length), the triangle is scalene. If two or more of the triangles sides are equal, the triangle is isosceles. If all three of the sides of a triangle are equal, it is equilateral.

In an obtuse triangle, one angle is greater than a right angle—it is more than 90 degrees. An obtuse triangle may be isosceles or scalene. In an acute triangle, all angles are less than right angles—each one is less than 90 degrees. An acute triangle may be equilateral, isosceles, or scalene.

I really hope this is helpful.
