Equilateral polygon with 60° internal angles. An equilateral quadrilateral is called a rhombus, an isotoxal polygon described by an angle α. It includes the square as a special case. A convex equilateral pentagon can be described by two angles α and β, which together determine the other angles. Concave equilateral pentagons exist, as do concave equilateral polygons with any larger number of sides. An equilateral polygon which is cyclic (its vertices are on a circle) is a regular polygon (a polygon that is both equilateral and equiangular). A tangential polygon (one that has an incircle tangent to all its sides) is equilateral
Isosceles triangle an equilateral triangle. The first solutions of the problem with unbounded oscillations were found in the isosceles three-body problem. Long before isosceles triangles were studied by the ancient Greek mathematicians, the practitioners of Ancient Egyptian mathematics and Babylonian mathematics knew how to calculate their area. Problems of this type are included in the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus and Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. The theorem that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal appears as Proposition I.5 in Euclid. This result has been called the "pons asinorum" (the bridge of asses) or the isosceles triangle theorem. Rival explanations for this name
