@Ballpeen

Drawing a right angle triangle is super easy  
Simply Turn On “Direction snap” and your lines will automatically snap tot the increment of your choosing (default is 15 Degrees)  
From there just pick three points using the trace tool.

PS the Shapes tool for polygons does not create right angle triangles
