The triangle with no equal sides is called Scalene Triangle.. The triangle two sides equal is called Isosceles Triangle.. The triangle with all the three sides equal is called Equilateral Triangle..

2. lakers

is it a right, acute, obtuse, or no triangle?

3. zeesbrat3

without the angle measurements it is impossible to tell

4. lakers

Classify the triangle based on the side lengths 9, 40 and 41. A. right B. acute C. obtuse D. no triangle can be formed with given side lengths

5. lakers

this is the whole question

6. zeesbrat3

If it is a right triangle then the lengths will equal out in pythagorean theorem

7. lakers

so is it no triangle?

8. zeesbrat3

it is a triangle

9. zeesbrat3

I would say right because using pythagorean theorem, it comes out equal

10. zeesbrat3

$9^2+40^2=41^2 81+1600=1681$

11. waterineyes

Oh I did not check that.. $\sqrt{1600 + 81} = 41$

12. waterineyes

Yes as pythagoras theorem is applicable here so It is A Right Triangle..
