I'm pretty new to Latex and i've just found out about tikZ. I'm barely able to make a triangle and angle. I just wanted to ask if you can tell me how to start with he following project:

@TirolaleinLeine What happened here is a good example that illustrates why many users here ask for an MWE (minimal working example). If you would have provided one (even if thetikzpicturewas very minimal), anyone answering it would circumvented the pitfalls (and also made sure that the thingy fits on a beamer slide). Changing these things afterwards is a bit cumbersome, and many users are not really willing to do that.

@TirolaleinLeine What happened here is a good example that illustrates why many users here ask for an MWE (minimal working example). If you would have provided one (even if thetikzpicturewas very minimal), anyone answering it would circumvented the pitfalls (and also made sure that the thingy fits on a beamer slide). Changing these things afterwards is a bit cumbersome, and many users are not really willing to do that.
