What are the steps to creating a right triangle?
The steps to creating a right triangle are easy, but it’s important that you follow them in order. To start, draw the hypotenuse of the triangle by drawing an angled line from one vertex (the pointy end) to another.
Next, find the middle point of this angle and connect it with the other vertex. Finally, measure halfway down this line and use either a ruler or your finger as a guide for where to place your second vertex–this will be at 45° angles.
Draw an angled line from this new point back up to meet with the first one! You now have created a right triangle!
