I hope you want to know the Perimeter.
Perimeter is the total length of the boundary of the region bounded by a shape.
For a rectangle it is the sum of the 4 bounding sides, or 2*(L+B), where L is Length of the rectangle and B is Breadth of the rectangle.
For a Triangle it is the sum of the 3 sides.
If you consider an equilateral triangle. By property the 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. Hence the Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is denoted as;
3*a, where a is the length of one of the sides of the triangle.
It is possible that the perimeter of a rectangle is same as that of many different types of triangles. We can formulate a relationship for a special case where the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle;
P(R) = P(ET), P(R) is perimeter of rectangle and P(EQ) is perimeter of Equilateral triangle.
P(R)=2(L*B) = P(EQ) = 3*a;
hence, a = (2/3)*(L*B) = P(R)/3.
i.e., the sides of the Equilateral triangle are one thirds of the perimeter of the rectangle.

A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas. The length of the rectangle is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. If the base of the triangle is 32 inches, what is the length, in inches, of the altitude drawn to the base?
An equilateral triangle is a triangle with three equal sides. An isosceles triangle is one with two equal sides. So yes, an equilateral triangle qualifies as being an isosceles triangle as well. This is quite similar to the relationship between squares and rectangles, where a square is always a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square.

An irregular shape like the delta or triangle( not equilateral) oblong (rectangle).....
No, it becomes a triangle. A rhombus is an equilateral parallelogram, or a diamond with all its sides equal.
