Will an equilateral triangular prism have the least amount of surface area?

No. Relative to its volume, the greater the number of sides, the smaller the volume. In the limit, a cylinder (circular prism, with an infinite number of "sides") will have the least surface area.

An equilateral triangle is a special case of a isosceles triangle?
Yes - if you define an equilateral triangle as one in which at least two sides are equal.
Does a pyramid have triangular faces?
It depends on the shape of the base, but yes it has at least 3 triangular faces!(yes)
Can a polygon be equilateral and equiangular but not convex?
No. A non-convex polygon must have at least one reflex angle (between 180 and 360 degrees). But by equiangularity, all the angles of the polygon would have to be reflex. On a plane surface this is not possible.
How many triangles have at least two equal sides?
equilateral triangles and isosceles ones
Is an equilateral triangle equal to an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has at least two congruent sides. An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides. So, an equilateral triangle is a special case of isosceles triangles. Since the equilateral triangle has three congruent sides, it satisfies the conditions of isosceles triangle. So, equilateral triangles are always isosceles triangles. Source: www.icoachmath.com

What solid figure has the least number of faces a triangular prism or triangular pyramid?
triangular pyramid
Why do cats curl up into a ball when cold?
It has to do with volume vs surface area. All things lose heat through the surface. The bigger the surface, the more heat lost. An animal curled into a ball presents the least amount of surface area for its volume, which means it takes the least amount of energy to keep warm.
Do equilateral triangles have at least two congrent sides?
Equilateral triangles have three congruent sides. That's the definition of an equilateral triangle. If it doesn't have three congruent sides, then it's not an equilateral triangle.
An equilateral triangle has at least two sides that are equal true or false?
False...an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides.
Does a rectangular prism have at least one triangular face?
yes, it has at least three
Does a pyramid have triangular faces?
It depends on the shape of the base, but yes it has at least 3 triangular faces!(yes)
An equilateral triangle is a special case of a isosceles triangle?
Yes - if you define an equilateral triangle as one in which at least two sides are equal.
