Equitriangular

/ˌɛkwɪtraɪˈæŋɡjələr/ adjective

Definition

Having three equal angles; describing a triangle where all angles are equal (which also means all sides are equal).

Etymology

Latin 'equus' (equal) + 'triangular' (from Latin 'triangulum,' three-angled). Technical term in geometry used interchangeably with 'equilateral' when describing regular triangles.

Kelly Says

An equitriangular triangle is actually the same as an equilateral triangle—all angles are exactly 60 degrees, and all sides are equal. In geometry, there are often multiple words for the same shape, which can make math feel confusing until you realize they're just different angles (pun intended!) of describing the same thing.
