① This example dynamically constructs a triangle's three sides, allowing students to discover the SSS congruence theorem: if three sides of one triangle are equal to those of another, the triangles are congruent. ② The core mathematical concepts include triangle congruence, Euclidean reasoning, side length measurement, and angle verification. ③ The construction uses GeoGebra commands such as Point (to create vertices), Segment (to draw sides), Polygon (to form the triangle), and Angle (to compute interior angles), along with Length objects to display side lengths and text objects to prompt observations. ④ Designed for middle‑school (grades 8‑9) through early high‑school (grade 10) learners, the activity serves as an inquiry‑based lesson or visual geometry exercise, fostering spatial reasoning and logical thinking.
