ANSWER: Equilateral triangle

EXPLANATION: Let us call our triangle ABC and our medians AD, BE and CF, where D is the mid-point of AB, E is the midpoint of AC and F is the midpoint of AB.

Let us say all the medians intersect at the point M, which would make M the centroid of our triangle ABC.

Now a centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1. So we now have 

AM:MD = BM:ME = CM:MF = 2:1

The question says that the medians are equal in length. So let us say AM = BM = CM = 2 units and MD = ME = MF = 1 unit.

Now consider the triangles, CDM and AFM. They can be proved to be congruent, because the CM = AM, FM = MD and the angle between AMF = angle between CMD. Now since these triangles are congruent, AF = CD.

But F is the mid-point of AB, so AF = FB. So we just proved AF = FB = BD = CD. 

Hence, AF + FB = BD + CD. And hence, AB = BC.

You can prove similarly for the side AC and AB too and show that BC = AC, effectively proving that AB = BC = AC and hence its an equilateral triangle
