Proof. It suffices to show that
$\triangle ABC$ is equilateral if and only if it is equiangular.
Sufficiency: Assume that $\triangle ABC$ is equilateral.
Since $\overline{AB} \cong \overline{AC} \cong \overline{BC}$ , SSS yields that $\triangle ABC \cong \triangle BCA$ . By CPCTC, $\angle A \cong \angle B \cong \angle C$ . Hence, $\triangle ABC$ is equiangular.
Necessity: Assume that $\triangle ABC$ is equiangular.
By the theorem on determining from angles that a triangle is isosceles, we conclude that $\triangle ABC$ is isosceles with legs $\overline{AB} \cong \overline{AC}$ and that $\triangle BCA$ is isosceles with legs $\overline{AC} \cong \overline{BC}$ . Thus, $\overline{AB} \cong \overline{AC} \cong \overline{BC}$ . Hence, $\triangle ABC$ is equilateral.
