Short Answer: no
Long Answer:
Most people consider Euclidean Geometry when taking about standard shapes such as triangles and squares.
In Euclidean Geometry: all equilateral triangles have angles of 60°. Therefore an equilateral triangle doesn't have a right angle.
However, in Non-Euclidean Geometry (Elliptic Geometry) a triangle can have all angles at 90°. Consider going for a walk at the North Pole. Start going South (all directions are South), then turn at a right angle (90°) to go East, then turn again at a right angle (90°) to go North and you would end up at your starting point (assuming the distance travelled in each direction is the same). The 'triangle' you made would have 3 right angles!!

Can a equilateral triangle be a right triangle?
No
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.
Can an right angle triangle also be an equilateral?
no. an equilateral triangle is also equiangular, so the angles are 60 degrees each. a right triangle cannot be equilateral
Is a right triangle an equilateral scalene or isosceles triangle?
It can be scalene or isosceles but not equilateral.
Can a triangle be right and equilateral?
no
Can there be a equilateral right triangle?
It is impossible for a right angled triangle to be equilateral unless it has a double triangle.
Who has more sides a right triangle or equilateral?
right triangle and equilateral triangle both have 3 sides
Are all right triangle and equilateral triangle similar?
No because a right angle triangle has different properties to an equilateral triangle
Can a equilateral triangle be a right triangle?
No
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.
How are a right triangle and an equilateral triangle alike and different?
a right triangle has 1 right angle an equilateral triangle has none they are both triangles an equilateral triangle has three equal side a right triangle has only 1 or 2-THANKS! your pretty nice!
Can an right angle triangle also be an equilateral?
no. an equilateral triangle is also equiangular, so the angles are 60 degrees each. a right triangle cannot be equilateral
Is a right triangle an equilateral scalene or isosceles triangle?
It can be scalene or isosceles but not equilateral.
Can a triangle be right and equilateral?
no
Which 2 statements contradict each other triangle pqr is equilateral and triangle pqr is a right triangle and triangle pqr is isosceles?
An equilateral and right triangle are contradictory.
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!
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.
