AA Exploration
In the given exploration, all three angles of the triangle on the right are fixed so that they are always congruent to their corresponding angle in the triangle on the left. You are free to manipulate all the vertices of triangle ABC, as well as the side lengths and position of triangle A'B'C'.
Can you find a way to make the two triangles look different?
Do you notice any special relationships between the side lengths of the two triangles?
