An equilateral triangle is inscribed in a parabola with its vertex at the vertex of the parabola how do you find the length of the equilateral triangle?
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.
Is it possible to draw an equilateral acute triangle?
Yes, because an equilateral triangle is always acute.
Is it possible to draw a obtuse equilateral triangle?
no
Draw a triangle that is not a regular triangle?
If by regular, you're referring to a regular polygon which has all sides equal length, and all angles equal, then an equilateral triangle is a regular triangle. If you draw a scalene triangle or an isosceles triangle then it will not be equilateral.
Can you draw a triangle with a line of symmetry?
Yes either an isosceles triangle or an equilateral triangle
