First you need more details about the parabola. Then - if the parabola opens upward - you can assume that the lowest point of the triangle is at the vertex; write an equation for each of the lines in the equilateral triangle. These lines will slope upwards (or downwards) at an angle of 60°; you must convert that to a slope (using the tangent function). Once you have the equation of the lines and the parabola, solve them simultaneously to check at what points they cross. Finally you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length.

Mateo is constructing an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle with center P. What is his first step?

Mateo's first step in constructing an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle with center P is to draw the circle itself, ensuring that the radius is defined. Next, he can mark a point on the circumference of the circle to serve as one vertex of the triangle. From there, he will need to use a compass to find the other two vertices by measuring the same distance (the length of the triangle's side) along the circumference of the circle. Finally, he will connect the three points to form the equilateral triangle.
