Triangle their internal angles, measured here in degrees. A triangle that has two angles with the same measure also has two sides with the same length, and therefore it is an isosceles triangle. It follows that in a triangle where all angles have the same measure, all three sides have the same length, and such a triangle is therefore equilateral. Triangles are assumed to be two-dimensional plane figures, unless the context provides otherwise (see Non-planar triangles, below). In rigorous treatments, a triangle is therefore called a "2-simplex" (see also Polytope). Elementary facts about triangles were presented by Euclid in books 1–4
Isosceles triangle formula_10. When the isoperimetric inequality becomes an equality, there is only one such triangle, which is equilateral. If the two equal sides have length formula_2 and the other side has length formula_3, then the internal angle bisector formula_22 from one of the two equal-angled vertices satisfies as well as and conversely, if the latter condition holds, an isosceles triangle parametrized by formula_2 and formula_22 exists. The Steiner–Lehmus theorem states that every triangle with two angle bisectors of equal lengths is isosceles. It was formulated in 1840 by C. L. Lehmus. Its other namesake, Jakob Steiner, was one of the first
