An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The faces of octahedra can be triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons or heptagons. There are many examples of octahedra - a hexagonal prism, for example - which has no triangular face. At the other extreme, all the faces of a regular octahedron are equilateral triangles.

Are all isosceles triangles also equilateral triangles?

No, not at all, all isosceles triangles aren't equilateral since an equilateral triangle is a triangle with all of its sides equal, i.e. all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, but in an isosceles triangle only two of its sides are equal.
