Without loss of generality may assume that the sides of the triangle have length 1. May choose the coordinate axes so that A, B and C have coordinates (0,0), (1,0) and ( 1/2,root(3)/2 ). Let (x,y) be the coordinates of the point P. Then x^2+y^2 = (x-1)^2+y^2+(x-1/2)^2+(y-root(3)/2)^2 . i.e. x^2-3x+5/4+(y-root(3)/2)^2...
