What happens here

Place the equilateral triangle on a flat work surface. Use a ruler to measure the length of one side of the triangle. Since it's an equilateral triangle, all sides will have the same length (in this demonstration, 6 inches). Mark the midpoint of each side (at 3 inches in this example) with a marker. Repeat this process to mark the midpoints of all three sides.

Goal: Identify and mark the exact midpoint of each side of the equilateral triangle.

All right, so once you found the middle of all three sides, go ahead and
