Question

Zoe says an equilateral triangle is always an acute triangle, but an acute triangle is never an equilateral triangle. Which statement explains whether Zoe is correct or not

Answer 1

Zoe is correct!

Explanation:

The definition of an acute triangle is that all three angles are less than 90 degrees. An equilateral triangle has the angles 60, 60, and 60. All three are less than 90 degrees, so this means that an equilateral triangle is always an acute triangle.

However, that doesn't necessarily mean that an acute triangle is always an equilateral triangle.
