When is an equilateral triangle not equiangular?
If a triangle is equiangular, it will have all equal angles. So, it might be similar to another equiangular triangle, but not congruent. It is not equilateral if the sides are not equal in length. All equiangular triangles are similar, but not all of them are congruent, which means they do not all have corresponding side lengths. But, all equilateral triangles are equiangular.
Are Equiangular triangles similar triangles?
Similar triangles are those which have the same set of 3 angles but the length of their sides is perhaps different - in other words they are exactly the same SHAPE but they are different size. Equilateral triangles have all 3 angles equal ( all 60degrees) so the answer is YES.
What shape is a equiangular?
Equiangular just means that all of the angles are the same, but the term is most often used to describe an equilateral triangle.
What are the names of all the types of triangles?
Isosceles, right, acute, obtuse, scalene, equilateral, (anyone else feel free to tag on) equiangular
If a polygon has equal sides does it have equal angles?
The answer is no. It is true of triangles, but not necessarily of other polygons. A good counterexample is the Rhombus. You can define a Rhombus as a quadrilateral with 4 congruent ( equal) sides. However, only the opposite angles are equiangular, not all 4 angles. Picture, if you will, a very elongated Rhombus to easily see this. The only equiangular Rhombus is the Square. Many regular polygons are equiangular but not all.
