Can you make an right equilateral?
No. Equilateral triangles have 60o angles. There is no way to build a right-angle triangle with sides of equal length.
What is the difference between an equilateral triangle and an acute triangle?
An acute triangle leans to the right but an equilateral triangle is wide and straight. An acute angle has three inside angles all of which are smaller than 90 degrees, which adds up to 180 degrees of course, and the sides are not necessarily equal. An equilateral triangle has three sides which are equal and each inside angle = 60 degrees (that is all three of them are the same angle automatically). Sides are equal or angles are equal = equilateral triangle.
What is a triangle with no right angles?
Equilateral Triangles do not contain right angles, since all angles in this shape are equal and it is impossible to make a triangle that consists of three 90 degress angles. Isosceles and Scalene may contain a right angle.
Do scalene triangles have three different angles?
Yes. A scalene triangle is, by definition, a triangle with all sides and angles different. An equilateral triangle has all sides and angles the same, an isosceles triangle has 2 sides and 2 angles equal, and a right triangle has a right angle, but it is also possible for an isosceles triangle to be a right triangle.
Is it possible to have an right equilateral triangle?
No, because all of the angles in a triangle have to equal a total of 180°. If one angle is right (90°), then the other angles would have to be less °, meaning that the sides are not the same.
