The term equilateral means "having the same length or measure" as we apply it. There are a number of shapes that meet this criterion. The equilateral triangle, the square, the regular pentagram, the regular hexagram and on and on in the polygon shapes. Note that the term "regular" is applied. A "regular pentagon" is a pentagon with all sides having equal length. We usually don't say "an equilateral pentagon" in geometry, but us the term "regular pentagon" instead. It communicates the same information. That's it in a nutshell. Next time you hear the word pentagon or octagon, make sure you don't assume it to be a regular one (though it may very well be). Where data is lacking, ask a question or investigate. Either that or make allowances for the possibility that the polygon may be regular or may not be.

An equilateral shape has all sides of equal length and all angles of equal measure. In two dimensions, it would look like a regular triangle with three equal sides and three equal angles of 60 degrees each.
A rectangle by definition has four right angles, so it cannot be equilateral. An equilateral shape has all sides of equal length, which would make it a square or rhombus, but not a rectangle.
A 60 degree angle is found in various shapes such as equilateral triangles and regular hexagons.
what ddoes the crystals shape look like
Some examples of objects that may look like pentagons include home plate in baseball, the shape of a house roof, and a slice of pizza when presented with a crust that forms a five-sided shape.
They are cuboidal, meaning they are sort of a square-ish shape. you could say they are shaped like hexagonal paving stones. They are smooth, strong and flexible, they are also able to reproduce. Cells will fall off while your eating food .
