A three-sided figure with two equal sides is called an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, two sides are of equal length, while the third side may be a different length. The angles opposite the equal sides are also equal in measure. Isosceles triangles exhibit unique properties in geometry, such as having a line of symmetry along the axis of the unequal side.

Isn't that an Isoceles Triangle?
Such a figure is called a square. Actually only one right angle is enough to force the the other angles to be right, and if three sides are equal, that forces all sides in such a figure to be equal. Exercise: Prove that any 4-sided figure( called a quadrilateral in math books) with three equal sides and one right angle is a square.
its not possible... a quadrilaterial is defined as a four-sided polygon the only thing that i can think of that has three equal sides but no parallel sides is a equilateral triangle
The primary difference between a square and a triangle is the number of sides each has. The square has four while the triangle has three. Let's look a bit further.The triangle has no restrictions on its shape; its a three-sided figure with line segments connected together. The square on the other hand has four sides of equal length. This will also mean it has four right angles in its interior. A square is a special case of a rectangle, which is a special case of a quadrilateral. Lastly, the term quadrilateral is the general term for a four-sided figure.
A triangle - It comes in three types -the Equilateral triangle - all sides of equal lengththe Isosceles triangle - two sides of equal lengththe Scalene triangle - all sides of different length
