Answer:

  • It is not possible.

Explanation:

It is not possible because if a triangle's side is equal to the other, then it will have 60° on each angle, which is not a right triangle. To classify a triangle a right triangle, it must have a right angle and should have the length of two legs equaled.

Please check out the image I uploaded.

In the image, we can clearly see no sign of right angles. Hence, a triangle with all 3 sides the same, cannot be a right triangle.
