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:

  1. Right Triangle: It has a 90-degree angle, as shown by the shape.
  2. Scalene: None of its sides are equal in length, as observed from the triangle's dimensions.

Tip:

To classify triangles, always check both the angles (acute, right, obtuse) and the side lengths (scalene, isosceles, equilateral).
