SSS Triangle Congruence Exploration

Set the segments to the desired length. [br]For each combination of side lengths, rotate the segments at C1 and C2 to determine the triangles you can create. Are you able to create more than one unique triangle for each combination of side lengths? What does this tell you if the corresponding sides of two triangles match?
