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.
A parabola is a two dimensional open curve. Its area is therefore infinite.
Most likely you have an equation of a parabola. The vertex of a parabola is the location where it changes from going down, to going up (a simplified explanation). Most parabolas that we think of are oriented up or down (the axis is parallel to the y axis), but they could be oriented sideways, or even at an angle. To calculate the vertex of a parabola ususally means to find the coordinates of the vertex.
