7. As part of a geometry assignment, Celina drew a scalene triangle. Which of the following dimensions could represent the side lengths of the triangle Celina drew?
a 6, 7, 8,
b 4, 4, 4,
c 1, 1, 3,
d 2, 3, 3,
whats the answer
can someone please give an answer i’m doing the test rn and i have no idea
The answer is 6,7,8 because scalene triangles sides aren’t equal your welcome
6,7,8
To determine which set of dimensions could represent the side lengths of a scalene triangle, we need to understand the properties of a scalene triangle.
A scalene triangle is a triangle with all sides of different lengths. So, we are looking for a set of dimensions where all three sides have different lengths.
Let's go through the options one by one:
a) 6, 7, 8 - All three sides have different lengths, so this could represent a scalene triangle.
b) 4, 4, 4 - All three sides have the same length, so this cannot represent a scalene triangle. This is actually a special type of triangle called an equilateral triangle.
c) 1, 1, 3 - Two sides have the same length (1), so this cannot represent a scalene triangle.
d) 2, 3, 3 - Two sides have the same length (3), so this cannot represent a scalene triangle.
Therefore, the dimensions that could represent the side lengths of the triangle Celina drew are option a) 6, 7, 8.
