it can be any triangle.
An equilateral polygon. All regular polygons, being equilateral, will have equal sides but it is not necessary that they are regular. A rhombus, for example, is equilateral but not regular.
The minimum numbers of congruent faces are as follows: On an equilateral triangular prism: one pair of triangles On a right equilateral triangular prism: one pair of triangles and one triplet of rectangles.
A regular polygon must be equiangular as well as equilateral. A rhombus is an example of a polygon that is equilateral but not equiangular.

Equilateral means that all the sides are the same size. Therefore an equilateral prism is has all sides the same length. This also means that they have 3 equal 60 degree angles. The definition of prism is a solid figure whose bases or ends have the same size and shape and are parallel to one another, and each of whose sides is a parallelogram. Equilateral prisms are commonly used to refract light. This refraction demonstrates that white light is a combination of all colours of the spectrum.
They can be, but they don't have to be equilateral to be a triangular prism.
If its cross-section is in the shape of an equilateral triangle then each of its 3 angles will measure 60 degrees
a regular polygon is always equilateral
To calculate the surface area of the equilateral triangular-based prism, you need to calculate the area of the equilateral triangle and all the other sides of the prism. The total area of all the phases will give the total surface are of an equilateral triangular based prism.
Not possible, by definition. Regular implies equilateral.
No, equilateral and regular are the same thing.
A triangular prism has two bases that are congruent triangles, but they are not necessarily equilateral. The bases can be any type of triangle, including scalene or isosceles triangles, as long as they are congruent. Therefore, a triangular prism can have equilateral triangle bases, but it is not a requirement.
No, but a regular pentagon is equilateral. Equilateral means that all sides are congruent (equal in measure); to be regular, all angles also have to be congruent.
A regular prism.
An equilateral polygon. All regular polygons, being equilateral, will have equal sides but it is not necessary that they are regular. A rhombus, for example, is equilateral but not regular.
an oblique prism is slanted and a regular prism is not, its right.
The minimum numbers of congruent faces are as follows: On an equilateral triangular prism: one pair of triangles On a right equilateral triangular prism: one pair of triangles and one triplet of rectangles.
