A triangle has at least two congruent sides and one interior angle of 60°. What is the most specific name for this triangle?

  1. Acute isosceles triangle
  2. Right isosceles triangle
  3. Obtuse isosceles triangle
  4. Equilateral triangle (correct answer)

Explanation: If a triangle is isosceles, the angles opposite the congruent sides are equal. Case 1: The 60° angle is the vertex angle. The two base angles are equal and sum to 180°60°=120°180° - 60° = 120°, so each is 60°. Case 2: The 60° angle is a base angle. The other base angle is also 60°, and the vertex angle is 180°60°60°=60°180° - 60° - 60° = 60°. In both cases, all three angles are 60°, which means the triangle is equilateral.
