Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In equilateral ∆ABC,

AB = BC = AC=a

m\angle A=m\angle B=m\angle C=60^{\circ}

Points M, P, and K belong to AB , BC , and AC respectively and

AM:MB = BP:PC = CK:KA = 1:3.

So,

AM = BP = CK =\dfrac{1}{4}a

MB = PC = KA =\dfrac{3}{4}a

Triangles AMK, BPM and CKP are all congruent by SAS postulate, so

MK=MP=PK

If MK=MP=PK, triangle MPK is equilateral triangle
