of the base as long as you press down on the cursor.
5 Release the cursor to anchor the second vertex.
6 Move the cursor to where you want to place the third vertex. You can continue to adjust the position
of the third vertex until you press down on the cursor. Press to anchor the third vertex.
The triangle is drawn on the image.
Drawing an Equilateral Triangle
An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. To draw an equilateral triangle, repeat the procedure
for drawing a triangle and press E while drawing the base of the triangle. This also establishes the height of
the triangle. Release the cursor to anchor the second and third vertices on the image.
Drawing an Ellipse
Use the Ellipse object tool to draw an ellipse defined by three vertices. The first vertex determines the centre
of the ellipse. The second vertex determines the horizontal radius of the ellipse. The third vertex determines
the vertical radius.
To draw an ellipse:

2 Select the Ellipse tool in the Object Tools window.
3 Position the cursor at the centre of the ellipse and press to anchor the point on the image. Do not
release the cursor.
4 Drag the cursor horizontally to establish the width of the ellipse. You can continue to adjust the width
as long as you press down on the cursor.
5 Release the cursor to anchor the second vertex.
6 Move the cursor along the vertical axis to position the third vertex. You can continue to adjust the
height of the ellipse until you press down on the cursor. Press to anchor the third vertex.
The ellipse is drawn on the image.
