right isosceles

1 answer

Based on the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the correct response is right isosceles.

Here's a brief explanation of why:

  • Obtuse equilateral: Not possible, as an equilateral triangle cannot have an obtuse angle (all angles must be equal to 60 degrees).

  • Right equilateral: Not possible, as an equilateral triangle cannot have a right angle (all angles must be equal to 60 degrees).

  • Equilateral scalene: Not possible, as an equilateral triangle by definition has all sides equal, making it not scalene.

  • Right isosceles: Possible, as it has two equal sides and contains a right angle (90 degrees), satisfying the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Thus, the correct answer is right isosceles.
