Equilateral means that all the sides are the same size. Therefore an equilateral prism is has all sides the same length. This also means that they have 3 equal 60 degree angles. The definition of prism is a solid figure whose bases or ends have the same size and shape and are parallel to one another, and each of whose sides is a parallelogram.
Equilateral prisms are commonly used to refract light. This refraction demonstrates that white light is a combination of all colours of the spectrum.
