PRINCIPIA · THEOREM

Three equal angles ⇒ equilateral

Dependencies: Isoceles converse: equal base angles ⇒ equal sides (a triangle with two equal angles has two equal legs).

Statement

Let the three interior angles of ABC\triangle ABC be equal to one another:

A=B=C.\angle A = \angle B = \angle C.

Then the three sides are equal too: AB=BC=CAAB = BC = CA. That is, "equal angles" pulls "equal sides" all the way down along the same correspondence.

Equivalence between equal angles and equilateral: \angle A = \angle B = \angle C \Longleftrightarrow AB = BC = CA — angles and sides are pinned together inside an equilateral triangle
