Given a square ABCDABCD, let us consider an equilateral triangle KLMKLM, whose vertices KK, LL and MM belong to the sides ABAB, BCBC and CDCD respectively. Find the locus of the midpoints of the sides KLKL for all possible equilateral triangles KLMKLM.
Note: The set of points that satisfy a property is called a locus.
