If you are talking about the triangle:


An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. Sometimes it is specified as having two and only two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having at least two sides of equal length.


If you are talking about the trapezoid (or trapezium):


In Euclidean geometry, an isosceles trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral with the line of symmetry bisecting one pair of opposite sides.
