Scalene triangle - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Due to the presence of the 90 degree angle symbol we can determine that this is indeed a right-angled triangle.

In a right-angled triangle, there is one angle that equals 90 degrees, and the other two angles sum up to 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle)

Therefore, the sum of the two non-right angles is 90 degrees

$90+90=180$

As is known, a scalene triangle is a triangle in which each side has a different length.

According to the given information, this is indeed a triangle where each side has a different length.

It can be seen that all angles in the given triangle are less than 90 degrees.

In a right-angled triangle, there needs to be one angle that equals 90 degrees

Since this condition is not met, the triangle is not a right-angled triangle.

Let's note in which of the triangles angle B forms a right angle, meaning an angle of 90 degrees.

In answers C+D, we can see that angle B is smaller than 90 degrees.

In answer A, it is equal to 90 degrees.

Remember that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180.

In an equilateral triangle, all sides and all angles are equal to each other.

Therefore, we will calculate as follows:

$x+x+x=180$

$3x=180$

We divide both sides by 3:

$x=60$

The measure of angle C is 90°, therefore it is a right angle.

If one of the angles of the triangle is right, it is a right triangle.

Given that in an obtuse triangle it is enough for one of the angles to be greater than 90°, and in the given triangle we have an angle C greater than 90°,

$C=107$

Furthermore, the sum of the angles of the given triangle is 180 degrees so it is indeed a triangle:

$107+34+39=180$

The triangle is obtuse.

As all the angles of a triangle are less than 90° and the sum of the angles of a triangle equals 180°:

$70+70+40=180$

The triangle is isosceles.

As we know that sides AB, BC, and CA are all equal to 6,

All are equal to each other and, therefore, the triangle is equilateral.

Given that sides AB and AC are both equal to 9, which means that the legs of the triangle are equal and the base BC is equal to 5,

Therefore, the triangle is isosceles.

Since none of the sides have the same length, it is a scalene triangle.

Since in an equilateral triangle all sides are equal and all angles are equal. It is also known that in a triangle the sum of angles is 180°, we can calculate X in the following way:

$X+5+X+5+X+5=180$

$3X+15=180$

$3X=180-15$

$3X=165$

Let's divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3X}{3}=\frac{165}{3}$

$X=55$

Since the two legs are equal, we can claim that:

$AB=AC=9$

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of all sides, meaning:

$AB+AC+BC$

Let's substitute the known data and calculate the perimeter:

$9+9+3=18+3=21$

Since this is an equilateral triangle, all angles are also equal.

As the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, each angle is equal to 60 degrees. (180:3=60)

From this, we can conclude that: $60=8x$

Let's divide both sides by 8:

$\frac{60}{8}=\frac{8x}{8}$

$7.5=x$
