Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Determine whether the triangle has unequal sides
00:03 According to the given side lengths, the triangle is equilateral
00:06 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given side lengths of the triangle and determine its type based on these lengths.

The side lengths provided are 8, 8, and 8.

According to the definitions of triangle types:

  • An equilateral triangle has all sides equal.
  • An isosceles triangle has at least two sides equal.
  • A scalene triangle has all sides different.

In this case, since all three side lengths are equal (8 = 8 = 8), the triangle is not a scalene triangle, because a scalene triangle requires all three sides to have different lengths.

Therefore, the triangle with sides 8, 8, and 8 is not a scalene triangle. The answer is No.

Answer

No
