- What are you initially given in this applet? Is there a certain order this is given in?

- What is the definition of a circle?
- Why is it necessary for us to have three circles in this exploration?
- How will we create a triangle with what is given to us in the exploration?
- As a group set you sliders to certain measurements.
- a. What information have you set in store for this triangle?
- b. How many different triangles does this create?
- Will all measurements always work (think about what if I am given a side length of 1 and the other two side lengths are 15)?
- What is the generalization you can now make if you are given three sides of a triangle?
- What do you think this means if you are given two different triangles (ABC and DEF) and AB = DE, AC=EF, and BC=EF?
