Which is not an appropriate classification for a triangle?

A. right equilateral
B. acute scalene
C. obtuse isosceles
D. right scalene



Answer :

Right equilateral would not be a possible classification for a triangle. By definition, an equilateral triangle needs to have all of it's sides equal, but in a right triangle, the hypotenuse is always longer than the two sides. As such, a right equilateral triangle is a contradiction in and of itself.
