Why is an equilateral polygon not necessarily a regular polygon?
A regular polygon must be equiangular as well as equilateral. A rhombus is an example of a polygon that is equilateral but not equiangular.
Which quadrilateral is equilateral but not always equiangular?
The rhombus has adjacent angles being the same, and all sides are equal. However, it is not necessarily equiangular.
Define equilateral and equiangular polygon?
An equilateral polygon is a polygon whose sides are all of the same measure. An equiangular polygon is a polygon whose angles are all of the same measure. A triangle is the only polygon where these two are effectively one and the same.. But it does not apply to polygons of 4 or more sides. A square and rhombus are equilateral but a rhombus is not equiangular. A square and rectangle are equiangular but a rectangle is not equilateral. This can be extended to all polygons with more than 4 sides but it is more difficult because they do not have distinctive names.
What is the name of a shape with equal sides?
the answer is a square * * * * * No. It is equilateral. An equilateral triangle, or a rhombus are shapes that have equal sides, but neither are a square. The answer is not a regular polygon since that also requires equal angles. A rhombus is equilateral but it is not equiangular and so not regular.
What is an equilateral polygon that is not a regular polygon?
A rhombus has four sides of equal lengths. So it is an equilateral polygon. But it is not an equiangular. It's angles are not equal in measure.
