An equilateral triangle, by definition, has three sides of equal length.
The definition for an isosceles triangle is that it must have two sides of equal length, the other side being free to have any length.
Based on these two definitions, we can say that an equilateral triangle is a special case of the isosceles triangle, namely one where the third side is also equal to the other two sides.
