Isosceles Triangle: A triangle in which two sides are of equal lengths is called an isosceles triangle.    

Notes

Equilateral Triangle:

  • A triangle in which all three sides are of equal lengths is called an equilateral triangle.

  • A triangle is said to be equilateral if each one of its sides has the same length.

  • In an equilateral triangle, each angle has measure 60°.     

       

Isosceles Triangle:

  • A triangle in which two sides are of equal lengths is called an isosceles triangle.

  • A triangle is said to be isosceles if at least any two of its sides are of the same length.

  • The non-equal side of an isosceles triangle is called its base.

  • The base angles of an isosceles triangle have equal measure.

  • An equilateral triangle satisfies all the properties of an isosceles triangle, whereas it is not necessary for an isosceles triangle to satisfy all the properties of an equilateral triangle.
