Scalene Triangle


ScaleneTriangles

A scalene triangle is a triangle that has three unequal sides, such as those illustrated above.

Each triangle above is a separate example, with one, two, and three hatch marks identifying its three sides. The displayed condition a<b<c makes their unequal lengths explicit. Different mark counts alone do not assert unequal lengths. Distinct angle markers can similarly distinguish the three unequal angles.
