How would you draw a diagram to represent the contrapositive of the statement If it is an equilateral triangle then it is an isosceles triangle?

To represent the contrapositive of the statement "If it is an equilateral triangle, then it is an isosceles triangle," you would first identify the contrapositive: "If it is not an isosceles triangle, then it is not an equilateral triangle." In a diagram, you could use two overlapping circles to represent the two categories: one for "equilateral triangles" and one for "isosceles triangles." The area outside the isosceles circle would represent "not isosceles triangles," and the area outside the equilateral circle would represent "not equilateral triangles," highlighting the relationship between the two statements.


A isosceles triangle is a special type of equilateral triangle?

Not ... exactly. It would be closer to accurate to say that an equilateral triangle is a special case of the isosceles triangle.All equilateral triangles are (also) isosceles; but most isosceles triangles are not equilateral.

Is every Isosceles Triangle an equilateral triangle?

NO but every Equilateral triangle is an Isosceles triangle. That is the difference . Isosceles triangles have only 2 sides the same length. Equilateral have ALL 3 sides the same length which means that they must have 2 sides the same length, so they are a very special case of an Isosceles triangle. That is why they have a special name - Equilateral meaning 'all sides equal'. The word lateral is a reference to the word length.
