It is true that a triangle can be isoceles and right. A Right-Triangle must have one 90 degree interior angle, but the other two could be anything (as long as they add up to 90 degrees and neither are 0 or 90).
An Isosceles Triangle must have two sides of equal length.

It is possible for a triangle to have both a right angle and two sides of equal length. However to have two sides of equal length means that you mush have two angles the same (think about it). The only configuration this works is the 90, 45, 45 degree triangle (more commonly known as the 1, 1, SQRT(2) triangle).

No. An isosceles right triangle is a special case. There are many right triangles which are not isosceles.


Does an isosceles triangle have a right angle?

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles. A right triangle is any triangle with one angle that is a right angle. A right triangle could also be an isosceles triangle, but an isosceles triangle will not always have a right angle.

Is an isosceles triangle an right triangle?

Not normally but if it has angles of 90, 45 and 45 degrees it is then both a right angle and an isosceles triangle


Which triangle is not an isosceles triangle?

An obtuse triangle or a right angle triangle. An equilateral is definitely an isoceles triangle * * * * * Not true. An obtuse or right angled triangles can be isosceles. It depends on the sizes of the two smaller angles. An isosceles triangle has two equal angles so a triangle with angles of size [A, (180-A)/2, (180-A)/2] degrees where 90 < A < 180 degrees would be an obtuse angled isosceles triangle. A triangle with angles of size (90, 45, 45) degrees is a right angled isosceles triangle.
