A- A right triangle
B- An equiangular triangle
C-An acute triangle
D- A scalene triangle Answer by MathLover1(20849) (Show Source):
let's first analyze given options for answer using the definitions of triangles:
A- A right triangle-Right triangle has a right angle (°)
B- An equiangular triangle-Equilateral Triangle has sides
and three , always 60°
C-An acute triangle-Acute Triangle has all angles are less than °
D- A scalene triangle-Scalene Triangle has sides and angles
since you are given a triangle with sides that are equal in length and you know that sides forming a right angle (°), your answer could be only option -A right triangle
