You need to draw an arc in order to get the (circular), cut-outs that your picture has.

Instead of a triangle with "line, line, line", think NOT a triangle, and "line, arc, line, line, arc, line, and line arc, line".

Once you learn to draw an arc, you'll have no problem getting what you want. Forget the "triangle" drawing - that's not a triangle that you're trying to draw. Do you see how the sides of your image are NOT just straight lines with an arc in the middle. The lines which make up the sides of the image, angle inward near the center.

So each side of your image is a line, arc, line. Not a triangle, by definition.

its so complicated to calculate many line to the triangle like picture...

can u have easier way to draw it ???
