MaxineAn equilateral triangle is a type of triangle where all three sides are of equal length, and all three angles are equal to 60 degrees. An isosceles triangle, on the other hand, is a triangle with at least two sides of equal length, and the angles opposite those equal sides are also equal. In summary, while an equilateral triangle has all sides and angles equal, an isosceles triangle has at least two sides and angles equal.

What is the difference between an equilateral and an isosceles?
An equilateral triangle has all sides equal and an isosceles has only two sides equal.
If it is an equilateral triangle it is isosceles?
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.
What is the difference between a triangle and an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has to have two sides of equal length. An isosceles triangle has to have two sides of equal length.
Is there a difference between an equilateral triangle and an equiangular triangle?
Interestingly, no. . .
What is the difference between an isosceles and acute triangle?
They both have 3 sides but an isosceles triangle has two equal sides whereas an acute triangle with different acute angles has no equal sides and is said to be a scalene triangle, or an acute triangle with three equal acute angles (of 60° each) and three equal sides is called an equilateral triangle.
