Center the figure at the origin
Center a side of the figure at the origin
Use one or both axes as sides of the figure

Placing triangles on the coordinate plane
1. Use the origin as a vertex or the center of a triangle.
2. Place at least one side of the triangle on an axis.
3. Keep the triangle within the first quadrant if possible.
4. Use coordinates that make computations as simple as possible.
