let's first analyze given options for answer using the definitions of triangles:
A- A right triangle-Right triangle has a right angle (90°)
B- An equiangular triangle-Equilateral Triangle has three+equal sides
and three equal angles, always 60°
C-An acute triangle-Acute Triangle has all angles are less than 90°
D- A scalene triangle-Scalene Triangle has no+equal sides and no+equal angles
since you are given a triangle with 2 perpendicular sides that are equal in length and you know that perpendicular sides forming a right angle (90°), your answer could be only option A-A right triangle
