Does an equilateral have congruent sides?

Answer 1

By definition, an equilateral triangle has congruent sides. "Equi"

has the same root as the word "equal," which is synonymous with "congruent," and "lateral" is based on the Latin word for "side." Thus, the word "equilateral" actually means "equal sides," which means they are "congruent."

In fact, an equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal angles.
