Is it possible to have an equiangular scalene triangle?
is it possible to have an equiangular isosceles triangle?
is it possible to have an obtuse equilateral triangle?
is it possible to have a right equilateral triangle?
please say YES or NO...if its a yes..please give me the degree of the 'main' angle!!!
for example: if you say yes to the obtuse equilateral...can u give me the degree of the obtuse angle?!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!
note: this is a homework assignment...i did 8 of them out of 12..i dont undertsand these four so do not think im just being lazy..i have attempted to find the answers to these questions for about an hour now and just CANNOT figure them out!!!...im taking an honors class so thats why im having a little bit of difficulty! please help me!

ok, these questions all test your understanding of different triangle definitions...
'is it possible to have an equiangular scalene triangle'...
- a scalene triangle has no angles equal (but all angles total 180 degrees) you should be able to answer this now...
'is it possible to have an equiangular isoceles triangle'
-an isoceles triangle has 2 angles equal and only 2 angles and consequently only 2 sides of the same length... an equilateral triangle has 3 sides (and 3 angles) equal..
- so the answer is no
'is it possible to have an obtuse equilateral triangle'
- by definition, an obtuse angle is > 90 degrees... an equilateral triangle would have 3 angles each > 90,
- also by definition, a triangle must have all 3 angles total 180 degrees
- a obtuse angle equilateral triangel would be impossible since the total of all angles would be > 180...
- the answer would be no
"is it possible to have a right angle equilateral triangle'
- the reasoning for this answer is similar to the the above, the sum of 3, 90 degree angles is 270 and greater than 180
- the answer would be no
Just remember the definitions of triangles and their properties...
Hope this helps, more than just giving you a yes or no
Good luck...

no, equiangular means all the angles of the triangle are equal... three angles, 180 degrees means 60 for each angle. only possibility! scalene means no sides are the same length, which in turn means, no equal angles. with isosceles, it must have at least two equal sides so it can have three meaning it IS possible to have an equiangular isosceles triangle. no, an obtuse equilateral triangle can not exist because equilateral means equal sides, which means equal angles, which in turn means, no obtuse angles. and a right equilateral triangle is not possible either due to the pythagorean theorem a squared plus b squared equals c squared. the hypotenuse can not be equal to another side, so there cant be three equal sides. hope this helps.

1) No, equiangular has 3 angles of same size, scalene triangles have no equal angles.
2)no, isosceles only has two equal angles
3) no, obtuse angle is greater than 90 degrees, equilateral has 3 sides of equal length, and, hence, 3 60 degree angles
4) no, right is 90 degrees, so same as above answer
I'm almost certain on these, make sure my definitions are right

genuinely, the only undertaking that i will discover in elementary with sacred geometry and alchemy is they the two manage sorts of spirituality. Sacred geometry deals with using geometric types and shapes interior the layout and shape of church homes, temples, mosques or everywhere of non secular accumulating. those specific shapes recommend specific issues, counting on the faith or concept gadget. as an occasion, the pentagram in Christianity refers back to the 5 senses. In Catholicism, it could sometimes seek advice from the devil, or the Evil One. Alchemy deals with the perspective of turning metals into gold, utilizing chemical compounds and technological know-how. although, Alchemy is likewise a concept find the superb awareness by way of chemistry. subsequently, alchemy is a spirituality all its very own. All in all, the only undertaking that i will see in elementary between the two is they the two manage a sort, or varieties, of spirituality.

This is about definitions and resourcefulness to find basic info. You should master that, asking here was a good idea. Learn about wikipedia. It's great for this type of stuff:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalene#Types_of_triangles
Homework is usually mindless memorization, I don't give it much credit. But here you at least learned about wikipedia.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!
no, the sides have to be the same for the angle to be the same
no, the sides have to be the same for the angle to be the same AGAIN
no, THE SIDES HAVE TO BE = FOR THE ANGLES TO BE EQual AND THEY ALL CAN't BE 91 degrees!!
NO!!!!! Goodness! If 1 triangle is right, they all can't be right... 180 degrees!!!!!!!
man your class is behind
