Best Answer

No. Remember that an equilateral triangle is also equiangular, and all angles must add up 180 degrees. Since there are three angles in a triangle each angle must equal 60 degrees, because 60 is 1/3 of 180.

(Extra credit answer: not in Euclidean geometry. In other geometries, it may be possible; for example, in spherical geometry it's possible for a triangle to have three 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!


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.
