Question

use the figure to the right to (a) identify the triangle as scalene, isosceles, or equilateral and as (b) acute, obtuse, or right. the parallel markings (the two small parallel lines) on two or more sides indicate that the marked sides are of equal length.

(a) is this triangle scalene, isosceles, or equilateral?
equilateral
scalene
isosceles

(b) is this triangle acute, obtuse, or right?
acute
obtuse
right

<reasoning>

Analyze the geometric markings on the triangle

\[
\text{No sides have matching tick marks (parallel markings indicating equal length).}
\]

Classify by side lengths

\[
\text{Since all three sides have different lengths, the triangle is scalene.}
\]

Classify by angles

\[
\text{The triangle contains one angle that is clearly greater than } 90^\circ\text{, making it obtuse.}
\]
