This statement is not true. A right triangle does not have to be an isosceles triangle.
An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. However, a right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees. Although it is possible for a right triangle to be isosceles if the two legs (sides adjacent to the right angle) are of equal length, this is not a requirement. A right triangle can also be scalene, meaning all three sides have different lengths.
