If you have an equilateral triangle ABC, then draw the line from A to D, the mid point of BC.

Then in trangles ABD and ACD, AB = AC (equilateral), BD = DC (D is midpoint), and AD is common so these two triangles are congruent and so angle ABD = angle ACD.

That is, angle ABC = angle ACB.

Similarly the third angle can be shown to be the same. Thus an equilateral triangle is also equiangular.

Now, sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. So since sum of three equal angles measures is 180 degrees, they must be 60 degrees each, i.e. NOT 90 degrees so there is no right angle..

An oxymoron. An equilateral triangle cannot be obtuse; an obtuse triangle cannot be equilateral.


Write an argument to show that an equilateral triangle cannot have a right?

An equilateral triangle is a triangle where all sides are the same length and all three angles are the same. The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. 180 ÷ 3 = 60


What is an inverse statement of if a triangle is an equilateral triangle?

"if a triangle is an equilateral triangle" is a conditional clause, it is not a statement. There cannot be an inverse statement.


Can an right angle triangle also be an equilateral?

no. an equilateral triangle is also equiangular, so the angles are 60 degrees each. a right triangle cannot be equilateral

How does a obtuse equilateral triangle?

It does nothing. Because it cannot exist.


Are all right triangles equilateral triangles?

no. In fact a right angled triangle cannot be equilateral. An equilateral triangle is also equiangular: that is, all its angles are equal. The sum of all three angles of a [plane] triangle must be 180 degrees and so they cannot be 90 deg each.


Does an equilateral have right angles?

No, an equilateral triangle does not have right angles. All three interior angles of an equilateral triangle are equal and measure 60 degrees each. Since right angles measure 90 degrees, an equilateral triangle cannot contain any right angles.


What is the supplementary angle to an equilateral triangle?

A triangle is a polygonal shape, not an angle and therefore, cannot have a supplementary angle.

No a right triangle cannot be equilateral, the hypotenuse will always be larger than the sides.


Can a triangle be considered an equilateral triangle and a right triangle?

No but a right angle triangle can be considered to be an isosceles triangle when its interior angles are 90, 45 and 45 degrees.
