False. An isosceles triangle cannot be a scalene because an isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles; whereas a scalene triangle has no equal sides nor equal angles.

I looked it up, it's false. Scalene means the 3 sides are 3 different lengths.

I always thought it was "not obtuse", that no angle was greater than 90 degs.
Apparently I was the obtuse one.
