Below

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to make it an even triangle you would put the 6cm and the 7cm straws on top of eachother and then for the opposite side of the trianle you would put the 13cm straw their because 6+7 equals 13 so if you put both of the same size straws on both sides the would be equal sizes. then you would connect then you would connect the 8 cm strw to the 2cm straw for the bottom line of the triangle and Voila! You hae made an even triangle.
