An isosceles triangle has two equal sides (and a third that is a different measure). It can also be identified by the fact that it has two equal angles and the third is different.

The above also mean that two of the three altitudes, medians, etc are equal while the third is different.

If the third measure is not different the triangle is equilateral.
