Why isn't some right triangles the same as equilateral triangles?
-- All three sides of an equilateral triangle are the same length. It's impossible for the sides of a right triangle to all be the same length. -- A right triangle must have a right angle in it. All three angles of an equilateral triangle are the same size. It's impossible for all 3 angles in a triangle to all be right angles.
Why cant a right triangle be an equilateral?
An equilateral triangle can't be a right triangle since an equilateral triangle has all 60° angles, which are NOT right angles [measuring 90°]. If a triangle is a right triangle, then it has a right angle!
Does a equilateral triangle have a perpendicular side?
No but a right angle triangle does
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.
Can a triangle be equilateral and a right angle?
No, it is not possible.
Can a right equilateral triangle be made?
no, it is impossible an angle of an equilateral triangle is always 60 degrees it can't be 90 degree
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.)
Can there be a equilateral right triangle?
It is impossible for a right angled triangle to be equilateral unless it has a double triangle.

Are all right triangle and equilateral triangle similar?
No because a right angle triangle has different properties to an equilateral triangle
Can an equilateral triangle have a right angle?
No, an equilateral triangle can't have a right angle, because an equilateral triangle has 3 equal angles of 60 degrees that add up to 180 degrees.
How many right angle triangle can you draw in an equilateral triangle?
There can be 6 right angle triangles
Does a equilateral triangle have a perpendicular side?
No but a right angle triangle does
Is it possible to have an equilateral right angle triangle?
No, an equilateral triangle always has 3 equal angles (each angle is 60°)
