All the three sides of an equilateral triangle are always equal to one another.
So, Let’s make an ABC equilateral triangle.
For example, AB = BC = AC.
∠C = ∠A = ∠B ( Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are always equal to each other )
Let x be ∠A = ∠B = ∠C
In ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (by the angle sum property of the triangle)
180° = x + x + x
3x = 180 degrees
X = 60 degrees
∴ ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
As a result, all interior angles of an equilateral triangle are 60 degrees.
