An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all three sides of equal length.
Draw the line segment:
Construct the line segment with AC=AB   (Radii of the same circle) & BC=AB   (Radii of the same circle).
Question ImageUnderstand that, from Euclid's axiom, things which are equal to the same thing are equal.
Therefore,
AC=BC AB=AC=BC  
Hence, triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle.
Therefore, option (1) is correct and the statement is true.
