SUMMARY

An isosceles triangle can have three equal angles, but this configuration is specifically classified as an equilateral triangle. In the discussed scenario involving triangle ECF, with angle ECF measuring 60 degrees, the remaining angles must also equal 60 degrees for the triangle to maintain its isosceles property. However, this is only feasible in non-Euclidean geometries, such as spherical geometry, and not in standard Euclidean plane geometry where the sum of angles must equal 180 degrees.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of triangle properties, specifically isosceles and equilateral triangles.
  • Knowledge of Euclidean geometry and its angle sum properties.
  • Familiarity with non-Euclidean geometries, particularly spherical geometry.
  • Basic trigonometry related to angle measures in triangles.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of equilateral triangles and their relationship to isosceles triangles.
  • Study the angle sum property of triangles in Euclidean geometry.
  • Explore non-Euclidean geometries, focusing on spherical geometry and its implications for triangle properties.
  • Learn about the classification of polygons and the hierarchy of geometric shapes.
USEFUL FOR

Students of geometry, educators teaching triangle properties, mathematicians exploring geometric classifications, and anyone interested in the distinctions between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries.

Okay, I know I must sound like a complete idiot here, but please bear with me.

I've come across a scenario in which I have triangle ECF. Angle ECF = 60 degrees, Angles CEF and CFE are unknown, lengths EC and FC are unknown and equal and length EF is r√3 and not equal to lengths EC and FC

I know it has to be an isosceles triangle, but because angle ECF = 60 the remaining angles must both also be equal to 60 degrees.

I'm not sure if this is possible or not. Also, sorry if this is a very basic question but I have honestly never encountered this scenario before. Any help is much appreciated.

This is an impossible object.

However, isosceles triangles can have 3 equal angles, and it becomes a special type of isosceles triangle - the equilateral triangle. This is equivalent to a square being a special type of rectangle, which itself is a special type of parallelogram, which is a special quadrilateral.
 
Such a triangle is possible on a sphere and some other objects, but not on a plane.
