Hi There! It looks like I’ll be having need to cut at least hundreds
of small equilateral right triangles, 2 inches on the sides, or so. Has anyone
done this? I would start with 2″ by 3/4″ linear stock. All comments are appreciated!

Make Small Equilateral Right Triangles
If I understand your usage of "equilateral" to mean equal length sides, the answer to your question is "It's not possible". In a right triangle, the hypotenuse will always be longer than the two equal sides.

As a matter of fact, I think it is possible though not practical. If the angle is 0 degrees the sides and the hypontnuse are equal and identical therefore having no area - just a straight line. But I know what you mean. Perhaps more details on the project would help to give constructive answers..
