Given the values of the sides of a triangle, is it a triangle with different sides?
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:
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.
No
In a right triangle, the side opposite the right angle is called....?
Equilateral: All 3 sides equal (like 8, 8, 8)
Isosceles: Exactly 2 sides equal (like 8, 8, 5)
Scalene: All 3 sides different (like 5, 7, 9)
Having three sides doesn't make it scalene! A scalene triangle specifically needs all three sides to be different lengths. Since all sides are 8 units, they're equal, not different.
Yes! An equilateral triangle is a special type of isosceles triangle. Since all sides are equal, it automatically has at least two equal sides, which satisfies the isosceles definition.
This is asking if it's scalene. Look for the key word 'different' - it means all sides must have different measurements. If any sides are equal, the answer is No.
