To determine if a triangle is scalene, we need to check the properties of its sides based on the given angles. A scalene triangle is defined as a triangle in which all three sides are of different lengths, which corresponds to the angles being different as well.
You provided three angles:
- 30 degrees
- 102 degrees
- 46 degrees
First, let's sum these angles:
30 + 102 + 46 = 178 degrees
However, for a valid triangle, the sum of the angles must equal exactly 180 degrees. Since 178 is not equal to 180, the measurements you provided do not actually form a valid triangle.
Therefore, an invalid triangle cannot be classified as scalene or any other type of triangle.
