Answer 2

since you'll probably see questions like this one again, why not look up all four of the triangles listed and make notes of what you find. Then compare your drawings with that of the given triangle and decide which one is closest to the given triangle. That'll give you your answer.

Answer 3

isosceles, only two sides are congruent to each other

Answer 4

oh okay so for it to be a triangle two of the sided have to be congruent to each other

Answer 5

Yes. Now you have a name and an illustration for one of the four types listed. Why not go just a little further and find an example of each of the remaining three triangles? and then keep your notes for later reference?

to answer your question: a triangle that has two equal sides (that is, two congruent sides) is an isosceles triangle.
