The answer depends on what tools you have.

(a) you have a protractor:

Draw a straight line of the required length. At each end draw an angle of sixty degrees so that the rays are (i) on the same side of the first line and (b) moving towards each other. If necessary extend them so that they meet. The first line and these two form an equilateral triangle.

(b) you have a compass:

Draw a straight line of the required length. Put the point of the compass on on end of this line. Put the pencil point at the other end of the line and draw an arc. Switch the compass to the other end of the first line and draw another arc so that it crosses the first arc. The point where the two arcs cross, when joined to the two ends of the original line, will give an equilateral triangle.
