Answer 1

Answer:

Scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

With this question, it's best to draw it out or we can use process of elimination.

We can rule out Right as the triangle is already obtuse (it can't be both).

We can rule out Equilateral as all the sides are not equal.

We can also rule out Isosceles as this triangle requires 2 sides to be equal, which clearly, they aren't.

Therefore, we are left with Scalene (C) which is your answer.

A scalene triangle has no identical sides or angles, and can be obtuse, right or acute.

Hope this helps,
