Answer:
In an equilateral triangle, all the sides are equal.
Since angles opposite to equal sides are equal in a triangle, the three angles are equal.
By angle sum property of a triangle, Angle1 + Angle2 + Angle3 = 180.
Let one angle be X.
Then all angles = X.
Therefore, X + X + X = 180.
3X = 180.
X = 60.
All angles are equal to 60.

Solutions:
Let △ABC be an equilateral triangle. Then, AB = BC = CA.
Since, angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
Hence, AB = BC and BC = CA
=> ∠C = ∠A and ∠A = ∠B
=> ∠A = ∠B = ∠C ............... (i)
Using angle sum property in△ABC, we obtain
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
=> ∠A + ∠A + ∠A = 180° .....[Using (i)]
=> 3∠A = 180°
=> ∠A = 60°
Hence, ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
