In classical [[geometry]] it can easily be proved that an equilateral triangle is also ''equiangular,'' that is each of its three angles is equal; since another theorem states that the three angles of a triangle total 180°, each of its angle is 60° each.

In some geometries (like [[sphere]] surface geometry) an equilateral triangle can have angles being more than 60° each: for example the North pole, the point situated 0°N 0°E and the point situated 0°N 90°E form an equilateral triangle with angles of 90°. This can be seen pointing for example the North Pole, Sao Tome & Principe and Singapore on a [[globe]].
