This is an [b]equilateral triangle[/b]. Each angle in an equilateral triangle is [math]60^\circ[/math]. The sides are all equal in length. Each side is represented by [i]a[/i] in this diagram.
This is an equilateral triangle. Each angle in an equilateral triangle is . The sides are all equal in length. Each side is represented by a in this diagram.
This is an [b]isosceles triangle[/b]. Two of the angles in an isosceles triangle are equal, and the other one is different. The two sides opposite these two equal angles are also equal to each other.
