1. Problem Description

The problem asks to classify triangle EFGEFG based on its side lengths and its angles. The sides have lengths 6 mm, 7 mm, and 11 mm. We need to choose two classifications from the given options.

2. Solution Steps

First, consider the side lengths. A scalene triangle has all sides of different lengths. Since the triangle has sides of length 6 mm, 7 mm, and 11 mm, all three sides are different. Therefore, the triangle is scalene.
Next, consider the angles. To determine if the triangle is a right triangle, obtuse, or acute, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Let aa, bb, and cc be the side lengths, where cc is the longest side.
If a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2, the triangle is a right triangle.
If a2+b2>c2a^2 + b^2 > c^2, the triangle is an acute triangle.
If a2+b2<c2a^2 + b^2 < c^2, the triangle is an obtuse triangle.
Here, a=6a = 6, b=7b = 7, and c=11c = 11.
So, a2+b2=62+72=36+49=85a^2 + b^2 = 6^2 + 7^2 = 36 + 49 = 85.
And c2=112=121c^2 = 11^2 = 121.
Since 85<12185 < 121, we have a2+b2<c2a^2 + b^2 < c^2. Therefore, the triangle is an obtuse triangle.

3. Final Answer

Scalene triangle
Obtuse triangle
