SSS Exploration
In the exploration below, all of the segments in the image are set to have lengths that are congruent to their corresponding object, but you are able to manipulate all three of the angles. Experiment by moving the points around in order to test the theory that Side-Side-Side is a criteria for triangle congruence. Is it possible to make the second triangle different than the first, or are they always congruent?
