Math Problem Statement
Classify the triangle shown in the image.
Solution
The triangle shown in the image is a right scalene triangle.
Here's why:
- Right Triangle: It has a 90-degree angle, as shown by the shape.
- Scalene: None of its sides are equal in length, as observed from the triangle's dimensions.
