[color=#000000]In the applet below, you'll see a triangle with a colored square built off each side. [br]You can change the size and shape of this triangle by moving its[/color] [b]BIG GRAY VERTICES[/b] [color=#000000]around.[/color][br][color=#000000]You can also use the[/color] [color=#ff0000][b]red slider.
