Prove that an equilateral triangle is equiangular

Given: Equilateral triangle PQR


To Prove: P Q ≅∠R


Proof: PQ PR ……….[all sides of an equilateral triangle are congruent.]


Q R [the angles opposite to the two congruent sides of a triangle are congruent (Isosceles Triangle Theorem)]


PQ QR [since all sides of an equilateral triangle are congruent.]


R P, again, by the Isosceles Triangle Theorem


Now, since Q R and R P ,


So, Q P


Therefore, P Q.


So, equilateral triangles are equiangular.
