If you know the lenghts of the sides, then it is easy. Suppose you want to draw triangle ABC.
1>Place the point of your compass on the paper and with the pencilled part draw an arc. The distance between the point and the place where your pencil touches the paper should be equal to the length of the side. Take the two positions as A and B respectively.
2>Now place the point on B and with the distance between the pencil and the point being equal to the length of the second side draw another arc.
3>Now place the point on A again and with the distance between the pencil and the point being equal to the length of the THIRD side draw an arc.
The last two arcs should be big enough so that they intersect at one point.
Let's call this point of intersection C.
Now all you have to do is draw a line from A to B, from B to C and from C to A and you have your desired triangle.

How do you make a triangle when you only know two sides and one angle?
Thats already a triangle if it three sides.
How do you use pythagaoras theorem?
If you know any two sides of a right triangle, you can calculate the third by Pythagoras' Theorem.If you know any two sides of a right triangle, you can calculate the third by Pythagoras' Theorem.If you know any two sides of a right triangle, you can calculate the third by Pythagoras' Theorem.If you know any two sides of a right triangle, you can calculate the third by Pythagoras' Theorem.
What shape has three sides that are not equal but have a right angle?
with the three sides you know it will be a triangle, it is a right triangle, it is not an equilateral triangle or an isosceles triangle... so it must be a right scalene triangle
How do you know if a triangle is a right triangle by it's sides?
C2=a2+b2
How do you know when a triangle is scalene?
You know a when a triangle is scalene if all its sides are diffrent lenths none of them are the same
How do you know a triangle is isosceles?
You know when a triangle is isosceles because two of it's sides are corresponding (the same).
What shape has 3 horizontal sides?

Can you draw a scalene obtuse triangle explain?
Yes, it's quite simple. First, let's define what a scalene obtuse triangle is and in so doing show that a scalene obtuse triangle CAN be constructed.'Scalene' means that all three sides are not equal (of different lengths).'Obtuse' means that at least one of the angles is greater than (>) 90o.So, as long as the triangle has 3 sides that are not equal and contains one angle that is >90o, you can create a scalene obtuse triangle.Another way to make sure you can construct the aforementioned is:If you know the lengths of the triagle sides you can add any two(2) of them the sum of which should be greater than the length of the 3rd side. This is know as the Triangle Inequality Theorem.Under the Resources link, there is a website to construct a scalene obtuse triangle as proof.
A triangle with no sides of equal length?
a traingle can not have no sides, then it wouldnlt be a triangle, as far as i know, all 2d dimensional shapes have at least 3 SIDES, a shape with no sides isn't a shape, its nothing ness A scalene triangle- All sides are different
Why would you use pythagoreans theorem?
To calculate any of the three sides in a right triangle, if you know the other two sides; also, to verify that an angle is a right angle, if you know three sides of a triangle.
