always
sometimes
never

Answer 1

Sometimes

Explanation:

A scalene triangle is a triangle with all 3 sides having different lengths and all three sides are of different measures.

We know that a scalene triangle has all sides with different measures. A scalene triangle will be a right triangle if its sides are Pythagorean triplets.

Therefore, a scalene triangle is "sometimes" a right triangle.
