is an isosceles triangle a right triangle

Since it is an isosceles triangle, then two sides are equal and the two base angles are equal. The base angles of the isosceles triangle will be different, depending on the length of the third side. There are 13 integers between 0 and 14 and not including 0 and 14. That means the third side can be any number between 0 and 14, but not including 0 or 14. Since the difference between the two sides of 7 each is 0, this means that the third side has to have a length greater than 0. The other restriction is that the length of the third side is greater than the difference between the lengths of the other two sides. So our only restriction, if two of the sides are 7, is that the third side has to be less than 14. If it was, then that would violate one of the properties of a triangle that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. We can make the third side any length we want as long as the third side is not greater than or equal to 14. We'll now construct a triangle with two sides of equal length of 7. The only requirements is that two of the sides have the same length.
