I'm not that is what I thought it was -_-

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

right. Since the sides are not equal (and you can prove this using law of sines simple rules), you can conclude that this forms a scalene triangle. since all the sides aren't equal

@XainSG it doesn't matter what you think it is; you have to let the user figure out the answer for themselves.

as for you @bohotness , i hopes this makes sense! :)
