no. an equilateral triangle is also equiangular, so the angles are 60 degrees each. a right triangle cannot be equilateral

What is right angle triangle and isoceles triangle?

A right angle triangle is a triangle with an angle 90 degrees. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two or more equal angles/ length of lines. An equilateral triangle can also be an isosceles triangle.


Is a right angle an equilateral?

No, an equilateral triangle must also be equiangular (three equal angles). Since all three angles must add up to 180 degrees, this means each angle in an equilateral triangle must be 60 degrees (180 divided by 3). Right triangles must have exactly 1 90 degree angle, so an equilateral triangle is never a right triangle.


What is the difference between an isosceles triangle and a right triangle?

In an isosceles triangle, two sides are of equal length. An isosceles triangle also has two congruent angles. An equilateral triangle is an isosceles triangle, but not all isosceles triangles are equilateral triangles. __________ A right triangle (or right-angled triangle, formerly called a rectangled triangle) has one 90° internal angle (a right angle). The side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse; it is the longest side in the right triangle. An isoceles triangle has TWO sides of equal length but and equilateral triangle has THREE sides of equal length.


Why is a right triangle cannot be an equilateral triangle?

An equilateral triangle has 3 sides of equal length (that's what the word equilateral means) and also 3 equal angles, all of which are 60o. A right triangle, by definition, has one right angle of 90o. So if all the angles are 60o then it is not possible to have an angle of 90o, right?

What are three ways in naming a triangle?

Right angle, equilateral, isosceles and there are also scalene and obtuse triangles.


Is the angle bisector also the median in an equilateral triangle?

No. The angle bisector is a line. Where the three lines meet is the median. In an equilateral triangle the INTERSECTION of the angle bisectors is the median.


Can a right angle triangle also be a scalene triangle?

yes as long as neither of the other angles are 45 degrees it can be scalene but it can not possibly be equilateral


Is it possible to sketch a right equilateral triangle?

No. In an equilateral triangle, all three angles are the same. Since they are not ninety degrees, you can't have a right triangle that is also an equilateral triangle.


Can a right triangle also be and eqiulateral triangle?

No. By definition, the angles of an equilateral triangle are 60 degrees, 60 degrees, and 60 degrees. A right triangle, on the other hand, must have a 90 degree angle.


What type of triangle has 3 angle bisectors that are also perpendicular bisectors?

equilateral triangle


What triangle has an altitude which is also a median and angle bisector?

An isosceles or an equilateral triangle perhaps?


Could a right triangle ever be an equilateral triangle?

No, never. There's more than one way to get at it: -- The angles of an equilateral triangle are all equal. Since the interior angles of any triangle always add up to 180 degrees, the angles of an equilateral triangle are each 60 degrees. There's no right angle. -- A right triangle is a triangle with an interior right angle. An equilateral triangle has three equal angles. If it were a right triangle, each angle would be a right angle. Then: -- the three interior angles would add up to 270 degrees, which is impossible in a triangle; and -- two sides would be parallel to each other, they would never meet, and there could be no triangle. -- The sides of a right triangle satisfy the Pythagorean equation: A2 + B2 = C2. If all three sides were equal, then you'd have (two times the square of a number) equal to (the square of the same number), which isn't possible. -- Remember that the 'hypotenuse' of a right triangle is the longest side. But an equilateral triangle can't have a 'longest' side.NOA right triangle always has a 90 degree angle and an equilateral triangle always has three 60 degree angles, so no.
