GOAL:
Use the Applet below to create as many triangles as you can.
Starting with the 12 inch line, move the segments to point B and adjust the orientation of each segment by moving the blue endpoint to create a triangle (using the x-axis as the third side of the triangle).
The measure of angle A will remain at 30o and the adjacent line (AB) will remain at 8 inches.
(Hint: There are MORE than 10 triangles possible!)
