Question

^{Lab 1 - Part 3 : Create a program named "IRT X -your name” that will draw an isosceles right triangle of any side length. Note: In Python, use math.pow(x,y) to raise a number to a power. Example math.pow(5,2) = 25 A shorter alternative is to use the operator ** where 5** 2 = 25 Save and test your program several times for different values of where 0<X<400}

Answer 1

program logic:

• we can use the graphics module to draw this triangle.
• set a side length of your choice.
• define vertices for the triangle.
• Since, this is isosceles scalene triangle, two sides will be of same length, and they these two sides will be at right triangles.
• let's set (400,400) as the vertex of right angle .
• then, (400+side,400) and (400,400+side) will be the other two vertices of the triangle.
• Draw a polygon with the vertices, we will get the required triangle.

program:

import graphics

win = graphics.GraphWin("Isosceles Right Triangle",800,800)
win.setBackground("white")

side = 100 #length of the side
vertices = []

vertices.append(graphics.Point(400,side))
vertices.append(graphics.Point(side,400))
vertices.append(graphics.Point(400,400))
triagle = graphics.Polygon(vertices)
triagle.draw(win)
win.getMouse()
win.close()

output:

• note we have side = 100. You may line in the code written in bold letters to change the side length
