Each angle in an equilateral triangle measures 60 degrees.
Here's why:
- Equilateral triangles have three equal sides.
- The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees.
- Since all three sides are equal, all three angles are also equal.
- Therefore, each angle in an equilateral triangle measures 180 degrees / 3 = 60 degrees.
Examples:
- Imagine a regular hexagon. It can be divided into six equilateral triangles.
- An equilateral triangle is a special case of an isosceles triangle.
