You cannot. An equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry, an isosceles has one and a scalene none. So there is no triangle with two lines of symmetry. Of course, you could draw only two of the three possible lines of symmetry for an equilateral triangle.
It is impossible two have a triangle that only has two sides. By definition a triangle is a shape that has three sides.
Let's assume the triangle has points A, B, and C. Method 1 (3 lines) Draw two lines across the triangle parallel to line segment AB. Now you have two trapezoids and one triangle. Draw another line from C to the any point on the closest of the two lines you just drew, splitting the triangle into two more triangles. Method 2 (2 lines) Draw one line across the triangle parallel to line segment AB. Now you have one trapezoid and one triangle. Draw a second line that passes through C and is perpendicular to AB, splitting the trapezoid into two trapezoids and the triangle into 2 triangles. Method 3 (3 lines) Draw one line from point C to any point on line segment AB. Then draw a line parallel to AC and one parallel to BC, but don't let them cross the line you just drew.
It will have 3 lines of different lengths and is classed as a scalene triangle.
No it's not possible. The triangle with the most lines of symmetry is Isosceles triangle and that has 3 lines of symmetry. Unless you draw on the back, but that isn't correct.

It depends what type of triange it is. If it is an equilateral triangle, you can draw 3 lines of symmetry If it is an isosceles triangle, you can draw 1 line of symmetry If it is a scalene triangle, you cannot draw any lines of symmetry

if you can connect three lines together then your good to draw one
no?

A 'side' of a triangle is any one of the three straight lines used to draw it.
No it's not possible. The triangle with the most lines of symmetry is Isosceles triangle and that has 3 lines of symmetry. Unless you draw on the back, but that isn't correct.
None of the sides of any triangle are parallel. However, you can draw an infinite number of parallel lines inside any triangle.
An equilateral triangle contains at least 2 lines of symmetry (it actually contains 3 lines of symmetry). An equilateral triangle is also radially symmetric.If the question is "Is there a triangle with exactly 2 lines lines of symmetry?", the answer is no.
I get 9 triangle with fewer than 9 lines. Draw a square: ABCD (4 lines) Draw the diagonals AC, BD (2 lines) which meet at X in the centre. On a separate part of the page, draw triangle PQR (3 lines). That is 4 + 2 + 3 = 9 lines. The triangles are: ABC, BCD, CDA, DAB, AXB, BXC, CXD, DXA, and PQR 9 triangles with 9 lines. Could have done 13 triangles with 7 lines by drawing a line from A to BC.
