How does an equilateral triangle differ from a scalene triangle?

Answer 1

Equilateral triangle has all three sides equal in length.
Scalene triangle has all three sides of different length.

Note that all three sides in a scalene triangle are different. If two are of the same length and different from the third side, it's neither equilateral nor scalene triangle.

For instance, a triangle with side lengths of #3#, #4# and #5# (in some measurement units) is a scalene triangle, but that with length #4#, #4# and #5# is not.

See explanation..

Equilateral triangle:

An Equilateral triangle has all of its side equal in length.

All of its angles are #60^circ#

Scalene triangle:

A Scalene triangle has sides with different lengths

The angles of a Scalene of a Scalene triangle are also different

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
