Identify the Type of Triangle ABC

In triangle ABC, the lengths of sides AB, BC, and CA are given as 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm, respectively. What type of triangle is triangle ABC?

To determine the type of triangle, remember that:

- An equilateral triangle has all sides equal.

- An isosceles triangle has at least two sides equal.

- A scalene triangle has all sides of different lengths.

- A right triangle follows the Pythagorean theorem, where the square of the longest side (hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides ($$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$$).
