Yes, they can be. For example, if one leg of the triangle is 6 inches and the other leg is 8, then the hypotenuse would be 10 inches long by the pythagorean theorem, I believe. They can not be equilateral. They can, however, be isosceles. I hope that this helps!

no. the triangle can have its right angle and then have two angles the same length. it can be a right iscoceles triangle or a right scalene triangle. but you can never have a right equilateral triangle.

How many right angles in a scalene triangle?

Any triangle can have a maximum of one right angle. Most right triangles are scalene triangles. The only non-scalene right triangle is a 45° - 45° - 90° isosceles right triangle.
