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.

Does a equilateral triangle have right angle?

Only right triangles have right angles. An equilateral triangle though can't have a right angle because all the angles in any type of triangle must add up to 180 degrees. For each angle to be equilateral, they must be 60 degrees, showing that there is no angle at 90 degrees in an equilateral triangle, which would signify that it would be right.
