Question

What is the hypothesis of the statement “If a triangle is scalene, then it contains no congruent sides”?
A. Scalene triangles have no congruent sides
B. It contains no congruent sides
C. Triangles sometimes contain congruent sides
D. A triangle is scalene

Answer 1

The hypothesis of the statement if a triangle is scalene, then it contains no congruent sides, is scalene triangles have no congruent sides.

Answer 2

Scalene triangles have three unequal angles. The shortest side is across from the smallest angle, the middle-length side is across from the mid-sized angle, and — surprise, surprise — the longest side is across from the largest angle.
Scalene triangle: A triangle with no congruent sides
Isosceles triangle: A triangle with at least two congruent sides
Equilateral triangle: A triangle with three congruent sides
Here's how you can tell which has some, and which don't.
