In the tools box on the left select the rectangle tool

TIP: Once you have selected the rectangle tool, check your properties! Make the Fill WHITE and the Stroke NONE!

For instance, this shape we just drew, move the pointer over one of the corners of the rectangle (square) and when the pointer changes, click and drag to reshape it

To select another shape tool, press and hold the rectangle tool in the tools panel on the left to show the shape menu

Select the POLYGON TOOL

Shapes you create from this tool are drawn from the center.

When the shape is a little bigger than the dotted triangle, press and hold the shift key to straighten it. (Don't worry we will change it to a triangle!)

For instance, this side widget controls the number of sides on a polygon

Drag the side widget up until it has 3 sides!

Press and hold on the polygon tool (the last tool you selected) and choose ELLIPSE TOOL

Down here, drag to create a circle

You will create this triangle shape by copying and pasting the triangle you already drew

Select the selection tool in the tools panel on the left (or press V)

Click the triangle you created

In Illustrator, some shortcuts work the same:

Paste:

To resize this triangle, drag the point on the right side to the left so that it is narrower first.

Then drag the top point down to make it shorter

Then drag the shape onto the guided dotted lines.

Grouping objects!

With the Selection Tool selected click on the circle.

Hold the SHIFT key down, and click on the small triangle below the circle.

Press Ctrl + G on your keyboard to group
