Equilateral triangle Equilateral triangle In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. It is also a regular polygon, so it is also referred to as a regular triangle. Denoting the common length of the sides of the equilateral triangle as "a", we can determine using the Pythagorean theorem that: Denoting the radius of the circumscribed circle as "R", we can determine using trigonometry that: Many of these quantities
Equilateral triangle segments PD and DA with DA having length "z" and PD having length "y", then which also equals formula_41 if "t" ≠ "q"; and which is the optic equation. There are numerous triangle inequalities that hold with equality if and only if the triangle is equilateral. An equilateral triangle is the most symmetrical triangle, having 3 lines of reflection and rotational symmetry of order 3 about its center. Its symmetry group is the dihedral group of order 6 "D". Equilateral triangles are the only triangles whose Steiner inellipse is a circle (specifically, it is the incircle). The integer-sided equilateral triangle
