You can use the midpoint formula, if you know all of the vertexes' coordinates.
For example, say you have an equilateral triangle with vertexes at points (0,0), (4,0), and (2,sqrt12). I'll choose (2,sqrt12) as my base of operations. (sqrt is the shortened form of "square root of")
First, I find the midpoint between (0,0) and (4,0), which is (2,0).
Next, I find the midpoint of (2,0) and (2,sqrt12). The midpoint formula is ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2). Just plug in the numbers: ((2 + 2)/2, (0 + sqrt12)/2). This simplifies to (2,sqrt3), which is your answer.

How do you find the hypotenuse of an equilateral triangle?
You can't as there is no hypotenuse in an equilateral triangle. The hypotenuse is the side of a triangle which is opposite a right angle (90°); all angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°.
What is a triangle called that has 3 equal sides and 3 equal angles?
It is called and equilateral triangle. You can find more information about equilateral polygons here: http://www.answers.com/equilateral
What is the height of an equilateral triangle with the side lengths of 18 center meters?
In effect an equilateral triangle is made up of two right angle triangles joined together so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the height:- 182-92 = 243 and the square root of this will be the height of the equilateral triangle which is about 15.588 cm
Does a equiangular triangle have to be equilateral?
No, an equilateral triangle has to be equiangular, but an equiangular triangle does NOT have to be equilateral
How do you find point symmetry for an equilateral triangle?
An equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry which perpendicularly bisects each of its vertices
How is a triangle the same as a equilateral triangle?
A triangle is the same as a equilateral triangle because a equilateral triangle is a triangle but it is congruent on all sides
What is the area of an equilateral triangle that has a perimeter of 71 feet?
Find the area of an equilateral triangle if its perimeter is 18 ft
What is an equilateral triangle obtuse triangle?
An oxymoron. An equilateral triangle cannot be obtuse; an obtuse triangle cannot be equilateral.
What kind of shape is an equilateral triangle?
there is not one because a equilateral triangle is one triangle so the ansew is equilateral triangle
Are isosceles triangle sometimes an equilateral triangle?
Are isosceles triangle sometimes an equilateral triangle
How do you find the length of a triangle when perimeter is given?
If the triangle is equilateral, you simply divide the perimeter by three to find the length of each side. If the triangle is not equilateral, you will need more information to determine the length of each side.
