What is the correct classification for the triangle shown below?

A. cute, scalene B. acute, isosceles C. right, scalene D. obtuse, scalene
Ok. The way to figure out the first part is, all angles need to add up to 180 degrees. if it's acute, all of the angles will be less than 90 degrees. If it's obtuse, the missing angle will be over 90 degrees. If it's a right triangle, the missing angle will be 90 degrees exactly
so...
An Isosceles triangle has two angles that are the same and one angle that isn't. A Scalene triangle has no angles that are the same
So what is the missing angle
90?
Yes. So what triangle will it be? Right, acute, or obtuse?
right?
Yes. And are any of the angles the same?
no.
Right, so it's a Right, Scalene triangle
thx
You're welcome
