## Isosceles and equilateral triangles

Besides the right triangle, some other triangles have special names. A triangle with two sides of equal length is called an isosceles triangle    . A triangle that has three sides of equal length is called an equilateral triangle    . [link] shows both types of triangles.

## Isosceles and equilateral triangles

An isosceles triangle has two sides the same length.

An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length.

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is $93$ inches. Find the length of each side.

## Solution

 Step 1. Read the problem. Draw the figure and label it with the given information. Perimeter = 93 in. Step 2. Identify what you are looking for. length of the sides of an equilateral triangle Step 3. Name. Choose a variable to represent it. Let s = length of each side Step 4. Translate. Write the appropriate formula. Substitute. Step 5. Solve the equation. Step 6. Check: Step 7. Answer the question. Each side is 31 inches.

Check: Step 7. Answer the question. Arianna can make each of the two equal sides 48 inches long.

where we get a research paper on Nano chemistry....?
what are the products of Nano chemistry?
There are lots of products of nano chemistry... Like nano coatings.....carbon fiber.. And lots of others..

I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct

why surface tension is zero at critical temperature
Shanjida
I think if critical temperature denote high temperature then a liquid stats boils that time the water stats to evaporate so some moles of h2o to up and due to high temp the bonding break they have low density so it can be a reason
