What are the properties of an isosceles triangle?

Back

An isosceles triangle has at least two sides that are equal in length, and the angles opposite those sides are also equal.

Front

What defines an equilateral triangle?

Back

An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are of equal length and all three interior angles are equal, each measuring 60 degrees.

How do you classify triangles based on their angles?

Back

Triangles can be classified as acute (all angles < 90°), right (one angle = 90°), or obtuse (one angle > 90°).
