I will assume that your triangle is made of 3 Points, each composed of x and y coordinates. You may need to do a function to calculate distance between two points, first. double distance(Point a, Point b) { return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(a.x-b.x, 2) + Math.pow(a.y-b.y, 2)); } Then, assuming your Triangle object has 3 points called a, b and c: boolean isIsoceles() { return (distance(this.a, this.b) == distance(this.a, this.c) || distance(this.a, this.b) == distance(this.b, this.c) || distance(this.a, this.c) == distance(this.b, this.c)); }
