Things you might use are a straight edge (like a ruler especially for measuring exact lengths), a protractor if you care about the exact angles you want, or something to make a arc (like a compass or string).

to make a triangle draw 2 straight lines leading away from a point and then draw a line connecting the endpoints of those lines.

to make a rectangle draw a line and then use a compass or marker on a string from a single point on that line to make an small arc above and below, then repeat at another point about equal away on the line making two curved X. Draw a line connecting the middle of the Xs. repeat this further down the main line. Then draw a line connecting the upper or lower Xs.
