equilateral triangle ;)
True...
Not too sure of the question but an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, 3 equal interior angles of 60 degrees and 3 equal exterior angles of 120 degrees
An equilateral triangle MUST be acute. Draw a staright line AB. Take a compass and put its pin point at A and the pencil point at B. Draw an arc on one side of AB. Without disturbing the compass setting, move the pin point to B and draw another arc to intersect the first arc at C. Join CA and CB. Then ABC is an equilateral triangle.
First off, its isosceles. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides that have the same length. A triangle with 3 sides the same length is called equilateral, but it is also a form of an isosceles. Note also that an isosceles will have two or more angles the same.
