Drawing a Triangle
 
 
 

Use the Triangle object tool to draw a triangle or equilateral triangle. The vertices are located at the three corners of the triangle.

To draw a triangle:

  1. In the Graphics menu, click Add.
  2. Select the Triangle tool in the Object Tools window.
  3. Position the cursor and press to anchor the first vertex on the image. Do not release the cursor.
  4. Drag the cursor horizontally to draw the base of the triangle. You can continue to adjust the length of the base as long as you press down on the cursor.
  5. Release the cursor to anchor the second vertex.
  6. Move the cursor to where you want to place the third vertex. You can continue to adjust the position of the third vertex until you press down on the cursor. Press to anchor the third vertex.

    The triangle is drawn on the image.

Drawing an Equilateral Triangle

An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. To draw an equilateral triangle, repeat the procedure for drawing a triangle and press E while drawing the base of the triangle. This also establishes the height of the triangle. Release the cursor to anchor the second and third vertices on the image.
