In a triangle, if two angels are equal in measure then...?

Answer 1

...the sides opposite those angles are congruent. We call the triangle "isosceles". If the third angle happens to match, then so does the third side, and we have a special kind of isosceles triangle: the "equilateral" triangle.

Some people (including some who have answered this question) do not consider equilateral triangles to be isosceles. This is a matter of definition. My impression is that most people define "isosceles" the same way that I do (so that it includes the equilateral case), but sometimes these conventions vary from place to place.

Answer 2

if ONLY two are equal we have a special name, it is an isosceles triangle. If the third angle is equal to the other two we have another special triangle with 3 60 degree angles and it is called an equilateral triangle.

Answer 3

Hey there!

Well, in lindajune's answer, the answer is true only if three angles are equal. For equilateral triangles, all the three angles are equal. For the isoceles triangle, at least two angles are equal.

So if two angles are equal, then the two sides corresponding to the equal angles are also equal. This triangle is then an isoceles triangle.

Hope it helps!

Answer 4

The sides opposite the angles are of equal length. It could also be either an isosceles or equilateral triangle.

Answer 5

You mean if 2 angles are equal in measure (not angels).
You likely have an equilateral triangle or a right triangle (would depend on the details).

Answer 6

If two angles are equal it is either isosceles or an equilateral triangle. If all three are equal, the angles is 60 degrees, and it is equilateral.

Answer 7

In a triangle, if any two angles are equal, then the sides opposite to the two angles are equal or rather congruent (that's a property of an isosceles triangle).....
Therefore, a triangle with two adjacent angles equal must be an isosceles triangle..............................
Similarly, if all the angles are equal(180/3=60 degrees), then their opposite sides will also be equal (all the sides will be equal)............. Therefore, they will be equilateral..................Equilateral triangles are a form of isoceles triangles......................................
And, if none of the angles are equal, then none of their sides will be equal i.e. it will be a scalene triangle.............................

Answer 8

their opposite sides are also equal and the triangle is isosceles.

Answer 9

It is an isosceles triangle.

Answer 10

God made it so...angles and angels...I don't think any angels are alike...check bible..therefore the triangle is the devil's handiwork...beware...lol
