Answer:

No This is an unique triangle.

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Two side lengths of 6 inches

=> it is an isosceles triangle

According to the property of an isosceles triangle, the measurements of the two non-included angle are equal.

  • In this situation, a non included angle of 60°

=> This is an equilateral triangle because the two non-included angles and include angle ( 180° - 2 *60°) are 60° .

This is an unique triangle.
