Side Congruence Discovery

Choose a length for each segment. Record those lengths in your notebook. How many triangles can you create with this combination of segments?[br]Choose a new set of lengths two more times. How many triangles can you form with each set of lengths? What conclusions can you make? Record those conclusions and share with partner.[br]
