Answer:

The answer is a scalene triangle

Explanation:

First, you have to find out if the angles of the triangle add up to 180. If so, then it is a triangle. If not, the angles are impossible and they can not be inserted into a triangle.

An equilateral triangle is a triangle where all of its angles are 60 degrees. (60, 60, 60)

A Scalene triangle is a triangle that has no matching angles (none of the angles are the same value. (59, 41, 80)

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two angles that are the same value (45, 45, 90)

Hence, the answer must be a Scalene Triangle.
