Drawing Triangles

What variables do I need to find to be able to draw a triangle? Do I just need base & height?

To draw any triangle you need 3 points (the corners).

You could theoretically use base and height but that would be a bit more tedious, as you would have to calculate (which I guess you have to do anyway with the 3 points method…) where the edges should go based on the height/base. Also, you would need at least 1 point to start the draw from.

You would have to make assumptions when drawing. Base and height is not enough to draw 1 unique triangle, which is why you would want to use the three points.

Ah I see, thank-you :)/>/>
