Answer: An equilateral triangle would be formed.

First, imagine that you have a cube and are looking at one of the corners (vertices). Measure down the three sides from the corner the same distance.

Next, imagine that you take a knife and cut a straight plane through those points. The result of your cross section would be an equilateral triangle.
