Question

Which of the following Statements are true?

Statement 1: A right triangle can be an equilateral triangle.

Statement 2: An equilateral triangle can be a right triangle.

Answer 1

Explanation:

both statements are wrong.

a right (or right-angled) triangle has a 90° angle. that is all.

an equilateral triangle has 3 equally long sides.

but that also implies that the 3 angles must be equal too.

the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180°.

if all angles are equally large, that means

180 = 3×angle

angle = 180/3 = 60°.

that means none of the angles can be 90°, so, no right-angled triangle can be equilateral.

and no equilateral triangle can be right-angled.
