your reasoning. You may wish to include a sketch as part of your answer.
Explanations may vary. Possible answers are given.
A. A scalene triangle can be acute.
TRUE

A scalene triangle has no congruent sides. An acute triangle has all acute angles. It is possible for a
single triangle to meet both criteria.

TRUE
FALSE

FALSE
A triangle cannot be both right and obtuse because the sum of the interior angles must be 180°. He sum
of a right angle and an obtuse angle is greater than 180°.
D. All equilateral triangles are acute.
TRUE
FALSE
An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides and three congruent angles each measuring 60° which
is less than 90° and consequently acute.
