Question
- what is the difference between an isosceles triangle and an isosceles right triangle? (draw an example of both)
An isosceles triangle is defined by side - length equality. An isosceles right - triangle has the side - length equality of an isosceles triangle and also has a 90° angle. In drawing, the key features (equal sides and right angle for the right - triangle case) are represented.

An isosceles triangle has two equal - length sides. An isosceles right - triangle is a special case of an isosceles triangle where one of the angles is a right angle (90°).
For an isosceles triangle drawing: Draw a triangle with two sides of equal length and the third side of a different length. The angles opposite the equal sides are equal.
For an isosceles right - triangle drawing: Draw a right - angled triangle where the two sides forming the right angle are of equal length. The other two non - right angles are 45° each.
