SteveNo necessarily, but an equilateral triangle fulfils the criteria for an isosceles triangle:
Isosceles triangle := two equal sides and two equal angles - the third angle and third side do not have to be equal to the others
equilateral triangle := all three sides are equal and all three angles are equal.
No. But I suppose an equilateral triangle is isosceles. An equilateral triangle is one with three equal sides. The requirements are less stringent for an isosceles triangle. All it needs is two equal sides and it's entitled to take the name 'isosceles', but if the third side isn't also equal to those two, then it can't join the 'equilateral' club.

Is a right triangle an equilateral scalene or isosceles triangle?
It can be scalene or isosceles but not equilateral.
Is an equilateral triangle equal to an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has at least two congruent sides. An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides. So, an equilateral triangle is a special case of isosceles triangles. Since the equilateral triangle has three congruent sides, it satisfies the conditions of isosceles triangle. So, equilateral triangles are always isosceles triangles. Source: www.icoachmath.com
A isosceles triangle is a special type of equilateral triangle?
Not ... exactly. It would be closer to accurate to say that an equilateral triangle is a special case of the isosceles triangle.All equilateral triangles are (also) isosceles; but most isosceles triangles are not equilateral.
How is an isosceles triangle different from an equilateral triangle?
Isosceles has 2 equal sides, but an equilateral triangle, all of its sides are equal.
