Open the Advanced Toolbar<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou can also use the keyboard shortcut by pressing Shift and N together to change your cursor to a Shaper Tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Make the Triangle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n With the Shaper Tool, just click anywhere you desire on the artboard and do a rough action of the shape of a triangle. You don\u2019t have to be precise with your drawing action. Just make sure your cursor moves to form a triangular shape will do and you have a triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDraw a triangle with the Shaper Tool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you want a small triangle, your action has to be small and a big triangle can be created with a bigger drawing action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Make Right Angle Triangles in Illustrator<\/h2>\n\n\n\nRectangle Tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If you want to make a right-angle triangle, you will have to ensure one of the angles inside the triangle is at a 90-degree angle. In this case, we should start with a shape that already gives us a 90-degree angle and work from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Select the Rectangle Tool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n First, look for the Rectangle Tool, which is represented by an icon of a rectangle shape. Or press M on the keyboard. With the Rectangle Tool, you can draw a square or a rectangle. Both can give you a right-angle triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n

As you drag further, you will see a square forming. The further you drag, the bigger the square. Release your mouse and shift key once you’ve reached your desired square size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for a rectangle, there are two ways you can draw it. The first method is, you can create it by clicking and dragging your mouse to your desired size without holding down the shift key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second method is one where you can create a rectangle of the exact size that you want. With the Rectangle Tool, click once anywhere and a Rectangle dialog box opens up. You will see two fields to type in width and height. The width represents the horizontal value and the height represents the vertical value of the shape. Type in any values you desire to give you the exact size of the triangle. In this example, both width and height are the same to create a square. Click the OK button.<\/p>\n\n\n

Make sure you see a bounding box with small squares on the four corners of the square. Then select the Pen Tool from the Toolbar. Hover your Pen Tool cursor over one of the small square anchor points on the corners. You will see the Pen Tool with an asterisk change to a Pen Tool with a minus sign. Then, click on the small square. This action deletes the anchor point of the square and creates a new path (the diagonal line) to make a right-angle triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n
