Equilateral Triangle Concepts and Theorems

This video tutorial covers the equilateral triangles theorem, starting with the definition of equilateral triangles as having three congruent sides. It explains that all equilateral triangles are also equiangular, meaning their angles are congruent. The video provides a proof of this theorem, using the properties of congruent sides and angles. It also discusses the isosceles triangle theorem, which states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, the opposite angles are congruent. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the key points and emphasizing the relationship between equilateral and isosceles triangles.

What is a defining characteristic of an equilateral triangle?

• All sides are of different lengths.

• It has one right angle.

• It has two congruent sides.
