Mr. smith drew an obtuse triangle with side lengths of 4 cm, 6 cm, and 8 cm. in addition to being an obtuse triangle, what kind of triangle is it?

a. right

b. isosceles

c. scalene

d. equilateral

i need

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,

well first make sure that you are black. then rob a gas station and the kill the attendant

step-by-step explanation:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
