Step-by-step solution

To determine if the triangle is equilateral, let's check the lengths of its sides:

  • The first side is 2X 2X .
  • The second side is 2X 2X .
  • The third side is 4X 4X .

For a triangle to be equilateral, all side lengths must be the same, i.e., 2X=2X=4X 2X = 2X = 4X . Clearly, 2X4X 2X \neq 4X . Therefore, the sides are not equal.

Given that not all sides are of equal length, the triangle is not equilateral.

Therefore, the correct answer is No.
