Question

a scalene triangle is an acute triangle (always, sometimes, or never) ?

Answer 1

what do you think?

Answer 2

A scalene triangle is where the sides are never equal so if 1 angle is obtuse then the other angles will be acute. If one angle is acute it is not to say that the other angles are obtuse.

Answer 3

What can you now infer by this information?

Answer 4

Never? @johnbc

Answer 5

is this a scalene triangle?

Answer 6

yes.... oh thank you.

Answer 7

and is it an acute triangle?

Answer 8

Note: For example, you could have a 60 degree angle, a 70 degree angle, and a 50 degree angle which would make this true. But you could also have a 95 degree angle, a 45 degree angle, and a 50 degree angle which would make this statement false. It would be false because a 95 degree angle is an obtuse angle not a acute angle.
