To classify using side+lengths:
3+equal side lengths -> equilateral
2+equal side lengths -> isosceles
0+equal side lengths -> scalene

so, the triangle whose sides each measure 6+ft has 3+equal side lengths which => equilateral
equilateral triangle has all angles of same measure
since the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180, in an equilateral triangle each angle will measure 60 degrees.
