"...an equilateral triangle has three sides all the same length. An isosceles triangle doesn’t (the hypotenuse is longer)..."
Sorry, that's not correct, unless the isosceles triangle also just happens to be a RIGHT triangle (the hypotenuse is the side opposite of the right angle). An isosceles triangle is simply a triangle with two sides of the same length (an equilateral triangle is also an isosceles triangle, incidentally).
