No. Relative to its volume, the greater the number of sides, the smaller the volume. In the limit, a cylinder (circular prism, with an infinite number of "sides") will have the least surface area.

What surface uses the least amount of friction?

A smooth, slippery surface like ice or Teflon typically has the least amount of friction. This is because these surfaces have very low coefficients of friction, allowing objects to slide easily with minimal resistance.


Do equilateral triangles have at least two congrent sides?

Equilateral triangles have three congruent sides. That's the definition of an equilateral triangle. If it doesn't have three congruent sides, then it's not an equilateral triangle.

Which surface will produce least amount of friction?

A smooth surface will produce the least amount of friction compared to a rough surface. Friction is caused by the resistance when two surfaces slide against each other, and smoother surfaces have fewer microscopic irregularities that create friction. The coefficient of friction is lower for smooth surfaces.


An equilateral triangle is a special case of a isosceles triangle?

Yes - if you define an equilateral triangle as one in which at least two sides are equal.
