I A. Equilateral
B. Right
C. Acute
I D. Isosceles
O E Obtuse
O F. Scalene

Answer 1

A and C

Explanation:

The triangle given has three equal sides and three equal angles.

Since the sum of a triangle = 180°, therefore, each angle equals 60°

Thus, we can conclude that the triangle is an acute triangle because an acute triangle has all three sides measuring less than 90°. This implies that all it's angles are acute angles.

Also, since all its sides are equal and the same as well as it's three angles, based on this, we can equally say the triangle is an equilateral triangle.

The triangle can be referred to as an acute triangle and also as an equilateral triangle.
