Does an equilateral triangle count as an isosceles?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

it satisfies the definition of isoscles triangle so yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, an isocles is a triangle with two sides the same length, where as the third side is a different length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat he said^^^

OpenStudy (experimentx):

i must say i am not so sure ... i'll check the def again

OpenStudy (savvy):

yes it does coz an isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 equal sides which an equilateral triangle obviously has...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it not matter about the third side also being equal to the other two?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

"An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The definition for isosceles is Two equal side and two equal angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i guess it will be yes
