Only if all the SIDES are EQUAL in length.
Equi -> Equal
Lateral -> Sides

In an octagon, there are 20 equilateral triangles. Each side of the octagon can form two equilateral triangles with the adjacent sides, resulting in 8 equilateral triangles. Additionally, the diagonals of the octagon can form 12 more equilateral triangles. Therefore, the total number of equilateral triangles in an octagon is 8 + 12 = 20.
an 8 sided polygon that has congruent angles, but not congruent side lengths
There are a few simple shapes with equal sides. The basic shapes are a square, octagon, and an equilateral triangle,
A regular polygon means a shape that has all equal lengths and angles. A couple examples are a square, an equilateral triangle, and a octagon shaped like a stop sign.
