Tips for Making a Scalene Triangle
A scalene triangle is a triangle with three unequal sides. To create one in Illustrator, start by drawing a line with the Pencil tool. Then, use the Node Edit tool to add an extra node in the middle of the line. Add two more nodes at the end of the line on either side. Next, use the Convert Anchor Point tool to create sharp points at each node. Finally, use the Selection tool to select all three nodes and drag them into place to form a scalene triangle.
Conclusion
In conclusion, to make a scalene triangle in Illustrator, you will need to use the Polygon Tool. First, click on the Polygon Tool in the toolbox. Then, click on the artboard and drag outwards to create a polygon. To change the number of sides on the polygon, simply enter a new value in the Sides field in the options bar. Finally, to create a scalene triangle, simply drag out one of the side handles until the sides are of unequal length.
