## Step 1The problem is asking whether there exists an equilateral right triangle. An equilateral triangle is a triangle where all sides are of equal length. A right triangle, on the other hand, is a triangle where one of the angles is 90 degrees.## Step 2The Pythagorean theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This can be written as:###
where
and
are the lengths of the two legs of the right triangle, and
is the length of the hypotenuse.## Step 3If we try to apply this theorem to an equilateral triangle, where all sides are of equal length, we would have
. Substituting these values into the Pythagorean theorem, we get:###
which simplifies to:###
## Step 4This equation is not possible for any real number
, which means that an equilateral triangle cannot be a right triangle.
