DIRECTIONS:
In the GeoGebra applet below,
1) Select the CIRCLE WITH CENTER THROUGH POINT 
tool.
Use this tool to plot a circle with center A that passes through B.
2) Keep this same tool selected. Now this time, construct a circle with center B that passes through A.
3) Use the INTERSECT 
tool to plot the point(s) at which these 2 circles intersect.
One of these points should be labeled C.
4) Use the POLYGON tool 
to construct the triangle with vertices A, B, and C.
5) Now select the MOVE 
tool. Move point(s) A and/or B around.

How would you classify triangle ABC by its sides? Why is this?
