b)its sides
thank you if you help :D :)

I don't really understand can you explain how you got the answer
What did you learn from the website I posted above?
the three angles always add up to 180 degrees
a) To describe the triangle according to its angles, we know that each angle measures 60 degrees. In a triangle, the sum of all angles is always 180 degrees. Therefore, if three angles each measure 60 degrees, the sum of all angles in this triangle is 60 + 60 + 60 = 180 degrees. This means that the triangle is an equilateral triangle.
b) To describe the triangle according to its sides, since the triangle is equilateral, all three sides are equal in length. Therefore, the triangle is also known as an equilateral triangle, meaning all sides have the same length. So, if one side is denoted as "a," all sides of this triangle would have a length of "a."
In summary, the triangle has equal angles measuring 60 degrees each, making it an equilateral triangle, and all sides have the same length, making it equilateral as well.
