Question

help? :) best answer!
Classify triangle BCD based on side lengths.


A.

scalene





B.

isosceles





C.

equilateral





D.

right

Answer 1

scalene. all sides are different lengths

Answer 2

so i was right, it is scalene for sure right?

Answer 3

yes. because a triangle with all different sides is a scalene triangle

Answer 4

wait..no

Answer 5

you have to consider that 3 is only part of that one side. if you look, the other part of that one side (side BD) has another part in it which we can see is 5 (because it is marked the same as another side labeled 5) so that side (bd) is 5+3=8. so the triangle is actually isoscles. sorry for the confusion...looks like the problem tricked both of us

Answer 6

lol, thankyou!
