One way would be to draw a square and then draw the diagonal of the square. You now have two isosceles triangles.
Another way would be to draw two line segments that intersect at a point. Take a compass and put the point at the intersection and set some arbitrary length to draw an arc. Now draw the arc between the two line segments to "connect" them. Then use a straight edge to draw another line segment between the points where the arc cuts the line segments, thus creating a triangle. The compass has marked off equal lengths along the line segments, so those sides of the triangle are equal. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. As an extra point, an equilateral triangle is isosceles, but it is a special case of an isosceles triangle.
The later construction method is pretty straight forward (less involved) than the first, but both are 100% correct. And both methods can be accomplished using the classic "compass and straight edge method" from the days of the ancients!

How do you draw an isosceles scalene triangle?
You cannot. An isosceles triangle cannot be scalene and a scalene triangle cannot be isosceles. So an isosceles scalene triangle cannot exist.
How you can draw a altitude with isosceles triangle?
The altitude line is perpendicular to the base and bisects the apex of the isosceles triangle.
Can you draw a triangle with a line of symmetry?
Yes either an isosceles triangle or an equilateral triangle
Can you draw an Isosceles right angle triangle?
yes
How do you draw a isosceles trapezium?
Its like an isosceles triangle that has been cut in half parrllel to its base
Can you draw a obtuse isosceles triangle is it possible?
It's impossible.
Is it possible to draw a right triangle that is isosceles?
yes it is possible to do that.
Is it possible to draw a scalene acute triangle and an isosceles acute triangle why or why not?
Yes to both
How do you draw a iosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has 3 sides 2 of which must be equal in length.
How do you draw isosceles triangle?
you draw it with 2 sides of the same length and 1 that isn't the same as the others
Can an obtuse triangle also be an isosceles triangle?
It certainly can be. To draw one, draw a very flat "V" , one with a very wide angle, then connect the top to make a triangle.
Draw a triangle that is not a regular triangle?
If by regular, you're referring to a regular polygon which has all sides equal length, and all angles equal, then an equilateral triangle is a regular triangle. If you draw a scalene triangle or an isosceles triangle then it will not be equilateral.
