NO but every Equilateral triangle is an Isosceles triangle. That is the difference .
Isosceles triangles have only 2 sides the same length.
Equilateral have ALL 3 sides the same length which means that they must have 2 sides the same length, so they are a very special case of an Isosceles triangle.
That is why they have a special name - Equilateral meaning 'all sides equal'. The word lateral is a reference to the word length.

Is every equilateral triangle an isosceles triangle?
No, it is not.
Is every equilateral triangle isosceles?
There are two definitions of isosceles, one of which defines it as a triangle with exactly two equal sides, which excludes equilateral triangles. The other definition is a triangle with two or more equal sides and therefore is inclusive of equilateral triangles.
Does an isosceles triangle always have three congruent angles?
Isosceles triangles usually have two congruent sides, but the rule is that they actually have at least two. That means that they can also have a third congruent side. That means they are both equilateral and isosceles*, which I personally think is way too confusing, but that's how it works.Example: A triangle has angles of 60 degrees, 60 degrees, and 60 degrees. It is both isosceles and equilateral.*I think that equilateral triangles are actually a type of isosceles triangle, so that if you're asked on a math test, for example, whether a triangle is scalene, isosceles, or equilateral, you'd say equilateral.No, Isosceles is two equal sides, although an equilateral triangle CAN be an isosceles triangle. And Angles of an isosceles triangle are not known (given) - simply two equal sides.Three, like every other triangle.
How much degrees is there in an equilateral triangle?
Every triangle has three angles that total 180o. In an equilateral triangle, there are three 60o angles.
How many degrees are in a triangle?
180 Degrees.In an equilateral triangle, each angle and side is 60 degrees.there is 180 degrees in every triangle
Is every equilateral triangle an isosceles triangle?
No, it is not.
Is isosceles triangle also an equilateral triangle?
An equilateral triangle has all sides measuring the same and an isosceles triangle has 2 sides congruent, so they are not the same. Every equilateral triangle is also an isosceles triangle, but not every isosceles triangle is an equilateral triangle. Isosceles = at least two equal sides Equilateral = three equal sides
Can a equiangular triangle be an equilateral triangle?
Every equilateral triangle is equiangular, and every equiangular triangle is equilateral.
Is every isosceles triangle equiangular?
No but an equilateral triangle is equiangular
Which triangle are two sides and two angles equal?
Every isosceles triangle. An equilateral triangle is a special case of an isoceles triangle
Is every equilateral triangle isosceles?
There are two definitions of isosceles, one of which defines it as a triangle with exactly two equal sides, which excludes equilateral triangles. The other definition is a triangle with two or more equal sides and therefore is inclusive of equilateral triangles.
When is an equilateral trinagle isoceles?
If an isosceles triangle is one that has two equal sides,then I guess every equilateral trinagle is isosceles.

An isosceles triangle is equilateral?
No, isosceles and equilateral are two separate types of triangles. Isosceles triangles have only two congruent sides, while all three sides of an equilateral triangle are congruent.
Is every obtuse triangle a scalene triangle?
no- it can be an isosceles triangle
IS IT TRUE THAT EVERY EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS AN ISOSCELES TRIANGLE?
That is incorrect. An equilateral triangle is where ALLthe sides of the triangle are the same length. This results in all three of the internal angles being 60 degrees.However, a Isosceles triangle only has TWO sides that are the same length. This results in two of the internal angles being the same with and the other angle being a smaller angle to add up to the 180 degrees.
What is the name of a triangle with atleast two sides congruent?
An Isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides. Scalene triangles have no congruent sides, and equilateral triangles have every side congruent.
