The answer is A. Right, Scalene.

This is because 90 degrees = a right angle

32 and 58 are smaller than 90, making it acute or scalene.
Isosceles means at least two sides are equal.
Equilateral means all sides are equal.

In this case, it is not isosceles or equilateral because the sides are not unequal.
It isn’t D. because that option doesn’t say “right”
