Isosceles Triangle: | An isosceles triangle is a triangle having (at least) two sides of equal length, and therefore also with (at least) two equal angles. |
Right Triangle: | A right triangle is a triangle that has a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem is a relationship among the sides of a right triangle. |
