I don't think so, because in right triangles, the hypotenuse has to be bigger than the other two sides.

An equilateral triangle by definition has equal sides. The angles between these sides are also equal. In any triangle, the sum of the angles must equal 180 degrees. A right triangle by definition has one angle that equals 90 degrees. To be equilateral it would have to have 3 angles which are all 90 degrees. Adding these up, the total sum of the angles would be 270 degrees. This would no longer be classified as a triangle.

What triangle do you need to construct in order to trisect a right angle?

An equilateral triangle.


To trisect an angle you first construct an equilateral triangle?

Right


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.


What must you construct before you trisect a right angle?

An equilateral triangle on on of the arms of the right angle.


Can a triangle be equilateral and a right angle?

No, it is not possible.


Is it possible for a triangle to be both right and equilateral?

No. The equilateral triangle has all three sides equal to 60 degrees. The right triangle has a 90 degree angle making it different from an equilateral.


Is it possible to have an equilateral right angle triangle?

No, an equilateral triangle always has 3 equal angles (each angle is 60°)


To trisect a right angle you first construct an triangle?

equilateral * * * * * * * No its right. Apex is stupid in ways no one can explain so yeah...


Can there be a equilateral right triangle?

It is impossible for a right angled triangle to be equilateral unless it has a double triangle.


When you trisect a right angle you first construct what kind of triangle?

To trisect a right angle form an equilateral triangle with one vertex at the right angle and then bisect that angle of the equilateral triangle. (It is impossible to trisect a general angle using only compass and straight edge - the right angle is a specific exception.)


Is an equilateral right triangle possible?

No, that's not possible. Consider these facts: -- all three angles of any triangle always add up to 180 degrees -- all three angles in an equilateral triangle have to be the same size -- a right triangle has a right angle in it; a right angle is 90 degrees An equilateral right triangle would need three right angles in it, and they would add up to 270 degrees. As we said earlier: Impossible.


Who has more sides a right triangle or equilateral?

right triangle and equilateral triangle both have 3 sides
