Is it possible to contruct a equilateral triangle with a straightedge and a compass?

Yes definitely. Draw a line. Set the compass to the length of that line. Place the point of the compass on one end of the line and prescribe an arc. Place the compass on the other end of the line and prescribe a second arc which intersects the first arc. Where they meet, draw lines to each end of the first line and you will have an equilateral triangle.

Is it possible to make an obtuse equilateral triangle?
No. It is not possible to make a equilateral triangle that is obtuse.
You can draw a regular hexagon using only a straightedge and compass by the first building an equilateral triangle?
True...
Is it possible to draw an equilateral acute triangle?
Yes, because an equilateral triangle is always acute.
Is it possible to sketch a right equilateral triangle?
No. In an equilateral triangle, all three angles are the same. Since they are not ninety degrees, you can't have a right triangle that is also an equilateral triangle.
Can a triangle be equilateral and a right angle?
No, it is not possible.

An equilateral triangle with sides measuring 8cm 9cm and 10 cm?
This is not an equilateral triangle.
Is it possible to draw an equilateral acute triangle?
Yes, because an equilateral triangle is always acute.

no
Can a triangle be equilateral and a right angle?
No, it is not possible.
What is the best next step in the construction of an equilateral triangle?
Use a straightedge to draw a line segment from A to one of the points where the two circles intersect.
Is it possible for a triangle to be both right and equilateral?
No. The equilateral triangle has all three sides equal to 60 degrees. The right triangle has a 90 degree angle making it different from an equilateral.
Is it possible to have an equilateral right angle triangle?
No, an equilateral triangle always has 3 equal angles (each angle is 60°)
