Answer 3

yes

Answer 5

Wait, so yes it CAN be or yes it CANT be? lol

Answer 6

Yes it can be:P

Answer 7

yes it can :)

Answer 8

Correct.
Above, you already have an example that works.
Sides 3, 4, 5
Using the Pythagorean theorm,
3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25
Sides 3, 4, 5 do indeed make a right triangle and are all different, so a triangle with sides 3, 4, 5 is both right and scalene.
