Answer
An isosceles triangle is any triangle with 2 sides that are equal in length. So, every equilateral triangle is a special case of an isosceles triangle since not just 2 sides are equal, but all 3 are. But every isosceles triangle is not equilateral, because you can have 2 sides of equal length and a third side that is either longer or shorter than those 2 sides. For example, if the triangle is a right-angle triangle and the two sides that meet to make the right angle are the same length, then the 3rd side would be longer than those two.
