Scalene triangles have no sides or angles the same.
Right angled triangles have a right angle

If a triangle has three different length sides and three different angles - but on of them is a right angle - does it fight both categories?

Or

Does it become a right angled triangle only?

Certainly! The classic 3-4-5 right triangle is scalene!

Scalene Right Triangle

You can see this for yourself if you get piece of string tied in a loop, a pin and two pencils.

Put the pin into the surface you are working on. A piece of cardboard would be good. Loop the string about the pin and draw it out into a triangle with the pencils. Play with this a bit and you should see that it is possible to have a right angle triangle that is also a scalene triangle.

Right Scalene

2016-12-18 19:37:47 · answer #4 · answered by ferranti 4 · 0 0

a 5,12,13 triangle is scalene-three sides of different length
and three unequal angles

therefore,a right angled triangle with three sides of different
length fits into both right angle and scalene
categories

i hope that this helps

Both: such as a triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5.

Yes it is both

BUT

you would call it a right-angled triangle as this is the more important property of the triangle

I think this is what you wanted to know - what it would be called!?!

It can fit into both categories. It's an equilateral triangle that can't also be a right angled one.

I think it is a right angled triangle; not all such have 90/45/45 degrees.

Yup. And you can also have an isosceles right triangle.
