No. Think of a triangle with two 45o angles. These must be opposite equal sides which in turn form a right angle. Imagine a square divided into 4 by diagonals, forming 4 isosceles right-angled triangles.

What does a right triangle and an isosceles triangle have in common?

A right triangle and an isosceles triangle have the fact that they are both triangles in common. A right triangle can also be an isosceles triangle.


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


Can a right triangle be both a scalene and isosceles?

Sometimes an isosceles triangle but never a scalene triangle with 3 interior acute angles.


What triangle appers to be both right and isosceles?

a right angled triangle with the remaining angles both being 45 degrees will be a rightangled triangle and an isosceles triangle.


What does right isosceles mean?

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. A right triangle has an interior angle of 90 degrees. A right isosceles triangle has both characteristics. The 90 degree angle will be the angle formed by the sides of equal length.


Can a right triangle be both scalene and isosceles Explain.?

Yes


The median to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divided the triangle into two triangles that are both what?

Isosceles.


Can an isosceles triangle be a right angle triangle?

no an isosceles triangle can not be a right angle triangle because with an isosceles the two sides meet at a point creating a vertisce which a right angle triwngle does not have hope this helpsImproved Answer:-Yes it can providing the interior angles are 90 45 45 degrees which will give a triangle of two equal sides making it both an isosceles triangle and a right angle triangle.


How are a right isosceles triangle and a right scalene triangle alike how are they different?

They both have right angles (obviously) But the scalene has no sides the same length but the isosceles has 2 equal sides


Which triangle appers to be both right and isosceles?

This would be a 45-45-90 degree triangle.


What is the maximum vertex angle in an isosceles triangle?

an isosceles triangle can have any vertex angle less than 180 and greater than 0, as long the other two angles are equal. an isosceles triangle with a vertex of 179 degrees would just have the other two angles be 0.5 degrees. A right triangle with matching angles (both 45 degrees) would be both a right triangle and isosceles triangle.


Why a triangle with a two 45 degrees angles is an isosceles triangle?

Because it has 2 equal base angles and 2 equal sides It is the only triangle that is both an isosceles and right angle triangle
