d. right scalene bc it has a right angle and none of the sides are congruent

imstuck · Answer

Isosceles means that it has 2 sides that are congruent.  Yes, this is a right triangle, so it is either c or d.  We need to find the measure of the hypotenuse to see what type of triangle it is.  Scalene is no sides are congruent.  the hypotenuse of this is 13.4, so none of the sides are the same.  D is your answer.  Do you know how to find the measure of the hypotenuse? That's the only thing I can see maybe catching you; either that or the definitions of the types of triangles.  Just make sure you memorize their definitions.  You should be fine.
