Abstract: This proof without words demonstrates that there are $$ equilateral triangles in the regular $n$-vertices-per-side triangular grid by describing a map from four-element subsets of $1,2,dots,n+2$ into the set of equilateral triangles in this grid. Specifically, we illustrate the triangle that corresponds to the subset $4,5,8,11$ under this bijection when $n=10$.
