What is the number of points in the plane of a triangle ABC which are at equal distance from the vertices of the triangle ?

Through the centroid of an equilateral triangle, a line parallel to the base is drawn. On this line, an arbitrary point P is taken inside the triangle. Let h denote the perpendicular distance of P from the base of the triangle. Let h_(1) and h_(2) be the perpendicular distance of P from the other two sides of the triangle . Then :
