Question

How do I classify a triangle by the side measurements? Example a triangle has sides, 19cm, 12cm and 8cm what would I classify as?

Answer 1

scalene... then you could test them using pythagoras' theorem to see if they form a right angle.

Answer 2

okay, but how did you figure that out..?

Answer 3

you do no math to say that the triangle is scalene

Answer 4

its scalene simply because those numbers you gave us for the sides... none of them are the same.... and thats what makes it scalene

Answer 5

if you said 19 12 12, we would automatically know that it is isosceles because two of those numbers are the same

Answer 6

oh okay, thank you <3
