How do you draw an equilateral triangle that is also an acute triangle?

Answer 1

an Equilateral triangle IS an ACUTE triangle. , because all three angles are less then 90 degrees. Being equilateral , all three angles are 60 degrees.

To draw an Equilateral Triangle, you need a ruler , pencil and compass.

#1 ; draw a straight line , say 6 inches ( 15 cm).

#2 ; Open the compass pointers to the same distancei. (6 ins. ( 15 cm)

#3 ; placing the compass point on one ends of the straight line, and draw an arc. (curve).

#4 ; Keeping the compass point open to the same distance, place the point on the other end of the straight line, and draw another arc, so that the two arcs cross.

#5 ; with the ruler draw a straight line from one end of the base straight line to where the arcs cross.

#6 ; from the other end of the same base line, draw another straight line from that point to where the arcs cros..

#7 ; if done correctly, you should see an equilateral triangle.

Answer 2

An equilateral triangle is when all angles and sides are equal throughout the triangle. If the triangle has same sides then it has same angles.

Acute triangle is when all angles in the triangle are under 90 degrees.

Since all triangles have three angles, and the sum of all angles within any traingle equals 180degrees, we must divide 180degrees by 3 angles.... 180deg/3A= 60deg per angle... This is the only option since there is only one equilateral triangle set of angles (60/60/60). And all the angles are under 90 deg. So in other words an equilateral triangle is an acute triangle.
