A triangle has at least two congruent sides and one interior angle of 60°. What is the most specific name for this triangle?
- Acute isosceles triangle
- Right isosceles triangle
- Obtuse isosceles triangle
- 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 , 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 . In both cases, all three angles are 60°, which means the triangle is equilateral.
