Nope. The hypotenuse is defined as the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle. a 45 - 45 -90 right triangle would, for instance, have two legs and a hypotenuse. However an equilateral triangle would not.

Are some right triangles are also equilateral triangles?
No because all right triangles have 2 legs and a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always longer than either leg so right triangles can't be equilateral triangles.
How do you find both legs of a triangle with only the hypotenuse?
You can't. The hypotenuse alone isn't enough to tell you anything about the lengths of the legs. There are an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse but different legs.
Both legs a 45-45-90 triangles measures 3 draw a picture and find the hypotenuse?
I can't draw a picture but if both legs equal three then all you have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem. In other words, the hypotenuse equals the square root of 18 (3 squared is 9, 9+9=18).
Are all equilateral triangles isosceles true or false?
False. Equilateral triangles are equilateral. All isosceles triangles have two of the sides the same, with the hypotenuse being longer than the other two.
How do you show that from the right angle vertex to the midpoint of the hypotenuse is half the length of the hypotenouse?
All right triangles inscribed in a circle have their vertices on the circle and the hypotenuse as the circle's diameter. Thus the midpoint of the hypotenuse is the center of the circle nd all points on the circle are eqully as far from the center even so the vertex of the right angle.

If a rectangle has a perimeter of 14 meters and a diagnol of 5 meters what is the area of the rectangle?
A rectangle must have four right angles and parallel sides. Therefore, you can divide the rectangle into two equal right angle triangles along the diagonal. As the perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of the triangles that aren't a hypotenuse, each of one of the triangles' legs length would add up to to half the perimeter of the rectangle i.e. 7. The length of the hypotenuse is 5. With basic trigonometry you should recognise that this is a pythagorean triple, or in otherwords the hypotenuse is 5 and the lengths of the 'legs' are 3 and 4 Now that you now know the lengths of the legs of the right angle triangles, and the legs correspond with the sides of the rectangles, you can now calculate the area: A = 4*3 = 12 m2

True are false are all equilateral triangles are isosceles?
False. Equilateral triangles are equilateral. All isosceles triangles have two of the sides the same, with the hypotenuse being longer than the other two.
How do you find the legs of a right triangle if you know the hypotenuse?
If that's all you know, then you can't. Whatever the length of the hypotenuse is, there arean infinite number of right triangles that all have the same length hypotenuse.In order to define one unique right triangle, you need to know one of the following in addition tothe length of the hypotenuse:-- the length of one leg-- the size of either acute angle
How do you find the length of the sides of a right triangle given the hypotenuse?
You can't. You need some more information. If you only know the length of the hypotenuse, you can draw an infinite number of different right triangles that all have the same hypotenuse.
Do all triangles have one hypotenuse and two sides?
No, only right triangle has one hypothenuse and two sides.
Are all equilateral triangles isosceles true or false?
False. Equilateral triangles are equilateral. All isosceles triangles have two of the sides the same, with the hypotenuse being longer than the other two.
Is L a theorem is all about right triangles?
If you are referring to Pythagoras' theorem for right angle triangles then the theorem states that for any right angle triangle the square of its hypotenuse is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
How do you show that from the right angle vertex to the midpoint of the hypotenuse is half the length of the hypotenouse?
All right triangles inscribed in a circle have their vertices on the circle and the hypotenuse as the circle's diameter. Thus the midpoint of the hypotenuse is the center of the circle nd all points on the circle are eqully as far from the center even so the vertex of the right angle.
What are the two lengths of a right angle triangle with a hypotenuse of 4.2?
We're pretty sure you're looking for the two "legs", not the two "lengths". The answer is: You can't tell. There are an infinite number of different right triangles with different leg-lengths that all have hypotenuses of 4.2 . The only thing you know about the two legs is that the squares of their legs add up to 17.64, but there's no way to know both individual lengths.
