No. That can be proven in this way, accepting the truth of the Pythagorean Theorem, which says that the square of the length of the hypotenuse, c, of a right triangle with orthogonal sides a and b, will always be equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of sides a and b. If c is the length of side c, and so on, the Pythagorean Theorem stated above becomes this mathematical statement: c2 = a2 + b2 One way to test a hypothesis is to express the assumed case, apply logic steps to it, and examine the truth of the result. So if we assume for argument that our right triangle is equilateral, and assign length xequally to all three sides--a, b, & c--we could write the equation thus: x2 = x2 + x2 which becomes x2 = 2(x2) Factoring out x2, we get 1 = 2 We've arrived at a mathematical contradiction, disproving our assumption. There cannot be right-angled equilateral triangles.

What triangles are formed when you draw a line down the middle of an equilateral triangle?
an icoceles triangle or a scalene triangle Actually you would get two right angled triangles. Isosceles triangles have two sides which are equal in length. A scalene triangle has all sides a different length and no right angles.
Explain how to draw an equilateral triangle?
An equilateral triangle means a triangle with all three sides with equal dimensions. For drawing an equilateral triangle first you will have to choose a measurement to draw the sides of the triangle. For example, lets take the side to be 4cm. When you draw the base of 4cm you will have to draw the other two sides of 4cm as well. Thus an equilateral triangle is constructed..
Is it possible to draw a triangle that is both obtuse and equilateral?
No because an equilateral triangle has 3 equal acute angles of 60 degrees
What is the first step in the construction of an equilateral triangle?
Draw a base of the required length.
Can you draw an obtuse equilateral triangle?
Nope, that is not possible. Equilateral triangles always have three 60 degree angles, which are all acute.
How do you draw a one parallel side and right angled shape?
|\ |_\ right-angled triangle
Which of the following triangles are impossible to draw?
a right obtuse triangle, a scalene triangle, and a right equilateral triangle
Is it possible to draw a right angled triangle that is regular?
no it isnt
How many right angle triangle can you draw in an equilateral triangle?
There can be 6 right angle triangles
Can you draw an right equilatteral triangle?
No a right triangle cannot be equilateral, the hypotenuse will always be larger than the sides.

How do you draw a triangle with an area of 12cm2?
Draw a right angled triangle with legs of 4cm and 6cm

What triangle is formed when you draw a line between a equilateral triangle?
A right angle triangle is formed if you draw a line through it straight down from the pointed tip to the base.
Is it possible to draw an equilateral acute triangle?
Yes, because an equilateral triangle is always acute.
Can you draw a right angle equllarteall triangle?
No because each 3 angles of an equilateral triangle measures 60 degrees.
Is it possible to draw a obtuse equilateral triangle?
no
