In geometry, an isosceles triangle (/ aɪ ˈ s ɒ s ə l iː z /) is a triangle that has two sides of equal length or two angles of equal measure. Sometimes it is specified as having exactly two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having at least two sides of equal length, the latter version thus including the equilateral triangle as a special case.

Triangles have many types based on the length of the sides and the angles. A triangle whose sides are all the same length is an equilateral triangle, [3] a triangle with two sides having the same length is an isosceles triangle, [4] [a] and a triangle with three different-length sides is a scalene triangle.

English: An isosceles right triangle. The legs are length 1, so the hypotenuse is length square root of 2. The legs are length 1, so the hypotenuse is length square root of 2. This file looks better in a web browser.
Position of some special triangles in an Euler diagram of types of triangles, using the definition that isosceles triangles have at least two equal sides, i.e. equilateral triangles are isosceles. A special right triangle is a right triangle with some regular feature that makes calculations on the triangle easier, or for which simple formulas ...
An equilateral triangle is a triangle that has three equal sides. It is a special case of an isosceles triangle in the modern definition, stating that an isosceles triangle is defined at least as having two equal sides. [1] Based on the modern definition, this leads to an equilateral triangle in which one of the three sides may be considered ...
