Carter Carrillo · Answer 1

The lengths of the sides can be 10, 30 and 31. This would be a scalene triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if it can create a triangle, we simple need to make sure that the value of one side is not greater than the other two added together. In this case, 10+30 > 31, which means it can be a triangle.

A triangle with no matching sides is called a scalene triangle. Therefore, we know it is a scalene triangle.
