It is a scalene triangle as all the sides are unequal in length.

What you are hoping for is that it is a right triangle. Use Pythagoras formula. c2 = a2 + b2 where c is the longest side. IF you get a true statement out of this then your triangle is a right triangle. 162 = 102 + 112? 256=100+121? 256=221? no, 256 does not equal 221, so in this case it is not a right triangle

. and it is scalene triangle with three different sides
