Answer: Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very tricky question. We know that in an isosceles triangle, two sides are the same. Because of this, we know that the right angle is always 90 degrees, and the other sides would be 45 degrees each because all triangles add up to 180 degrees. A right triangle could also be scalene, meaning none of the sides are the same, for example a scalene triangle could have sides of 44, 46, and 90 degrees. Rest assured, a right triangle will never be equalateral. Hope this helps :) Merry Christmas
