Given a square $ABCD$, let us consider an equilateral triangle $KLM$, whose vertices $K$, $L$ and $M$ belong to the sides $AB$, $BC$ and $CD$ respectively. Find the locus of the midpoints of the sides $KL$ for all possible equilateral triangles $KLM$.
Note: The set of points that satisfy a property is called a locus.
Prove that the sum of the squares of the right-angled projections of the sides of a triangle onto the line $ p $ of the plane of this triangle does not depend on the position of the line $ p $ if and only if it the triangle is equilateral.
Point $P$ is taken on the extension of side $AB$ of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ so that $A$ is between $B$ and $P$. Denote by $a$ the side length of triangle $ABC$, by $r_1$ the inradius of triangle $PAC$, and by $r_2$ the exradius of triangle $PBC$ opposite $P$. Find the sum $r_1+r_2$ as a function in $a$.
Consider the hexagon which is formed by the vertices of two equilateral triangles (not necessarily equal) when the triangles intersect. Prove that the area of the hexagon is unchanged when one of the triangles is translated (without rotating) relative to the other in such a way that the hexagon continues to be defined.

Inscribe the equilateral triangle of the largest perimeter in a given semicircle.
In triangle $ABC$, the angle at $C$ is $30^o$, side $BC$ has length $4$, and side $AC$ has length $5$. Let $ P$ be the point such that triangle $ABP$ is equilateral and non-overlapping with triangle $ABC$. Find the distance from $C$ to $ P$.

Suppose that the circumradius $R$ and the inradius $r$ of a triangle $ABC$ satisfy $R = 2r$. Prove that the triangle is equilateral.
Chris and Michael play a game on a board which is a rhombus of side length $n$ (a positive integer) consisting of two equilateral triangles, each of which has been divided into equilateral triangles of side length $ 1$. Each has a single token, initially on the leftmost and rightmost squares of the board, called the “home” squares (the illustration shows the case $n = 4$).

A move consists of moving your token to an adjacent triangle (two triangles are adjacent only if they share a side). To win the game, you must either capture your opponent’s token (by moving to the triangle it occupies), or move on to your opponent’s home square.
Supposing that Chris moves first, which, if any, player has a winning strategy?
A line passes through the center $O$ of an equilateral triangle $ABC$ and intersects the side $BC$. At what angle wrt $BC$ should this line be drawn this line so that its segment inside the triangle has the smallest possible length?
Given an equilateral triangle $ABC$ and a point $P$ so that the distances $P$ to $A$ and to $C$ are not farther than the distances $P$ to $B$. Prove that $PB = PA + PC$ if and only if $P$ lies on the circumcircle of $\vartriangle ABC$.
Kikoriki live on the shores of a pond in the form of an equilateral triangle with a side of $600$ m, Krash and Wally live on the same shore, $300$ m from each other. In summer, Dokko to Krash walk $900$ m, and Wally to Rosa - also $900$ m. Prove that in winter, when the pond freezes and it will be possible to walk directly on the ice, Dokko will walk as many meters to Krash as Wally to Rosa.
