Draw a faint, straight line on your paper using a ruler.
Select a point on the line to be the vertex, or corner point. Mark the point with a small dot.
Line your protractor up with the point you marked.
Locate the point that is 90 degrees of your first line on your protractor.
Mark where 90 degrees is and trace a line from the 90 degree mark out to the side to create the 90 degree angle.
Line the ruler up with the first line and trace over the line with a heavier stroke of your pencil.
Line the ruler up with the second line and trace over the line with a heavier stroke of your pencil.
Connect the ends of the two lines to form a triangle. Use the ruler to ensure a straight line.
Draw a horizontal line on your paper.
Place the protractor on the line and select a point that is less than 90 degrees from the first line.
Mark the point on the paper and draw a line at the angle you have chosen. Use a ruler to ensure a straight line.
Draw a third line to connect the two lines, creating a triangle. Use a ruler to make the line straight.
Draw a horizontal line with a ruler on the paper.
Select and mark a spot where the vertex should go.
Place the protractor at the spot you marked.
Select a point between 90 and 180 degrees to mark the spot for your second point.
Trace a line between the two points to create the triangle.
Erase any lines outside of the connected points.
Draw a straight line lightly on the paper using a ruler.
Mark a point on the line for a vertex.
Line your protractor up and find 60 degrees to the first line.
Mark the point at 60 degrees and draw a light line with the ruler.
Line the protractor back up with the first line you drew. Find 60 degrees in the other direction of the point.
Mark the point at 60 degrees and draw a light line with the ruler.
Line your ruler up and trace over the lines with a thicker stroke. The triangle will form inside the points' intersection. Erase the faint lines that may extend past these points.
