Exploration: The applet's slider has 4 positions. What happens when the slider is moved from its starting position to position 2 (one spot to the right)?
Exploration: What happens when the slider is moved from position 2 to position 3?
Exploration: What happens when the slider is moved from position 3 to position 4?
Extension: Make a conjecture based on what you observed in this applet about the relationship between angles of a triangle and the side lengths opposite from them.
