One way to engage students in a geometry challenge is to display a triangle and ask them to identify its properties. For example, you could ask them to determine the angles of the triangle, the lengths of its sides, and whether it is a right, acute, or obtuse triangle.

Once students have identified the properties of the triangle, you can challenge them to draw different shapes with similar properties. For example, you could ask them to draw a different triangle with the same angles but different side lengths, or a triangle with the same side lengths but different angles.

After students have completed the challenge, you can facilitate a discussion about the relationships between the different shapes. For example, you could ask students to explain how changing the side lengths affects the angles of the triangle, or how changing the angles affects the side lengths. This can help students deepen their understanding of geometric properties and relationships.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.

Simpler Version:

Display a right triangle with angles of 30°, 60°, and 90°. Ask students to identify the properties of the triangle, such as the lengths of its sides and the relationships between the angles and sides. Challenge them to draw a different right triangle with the same angles but different side lengths.

Same Version:

Display an equilateral triangle with all angles measuring 60° and all sides being equal in length. Ask students to identify the properties of the triangle and discuss the relationships between the angles and sides. Challenge them to draw a different equilateral triangle with the same properties.

More Complex Version:

Display a scalene triangle with angles measuring 45°, 60°, and 75°, and sides of varying lengths. Ask students to identify the properties of the triangle, such as the relationships between the angles and sides. Challenge them to draw a different scalene triangle with the same angles but different side lengths, or a triangle with different angles but the same side lengths. Encourage students to explore the complexities of triangle properties and relationships.
