Unique Triangles
Unique Triangles are triangles that do not have an
equivalent. This means there is not another triangle
that has the exact dimensions or shape.
What are the facts or conditions that you need to
know to create a unique triangle? In other words, if
two people had the same information is it possible
for them to construct two different triangles?
