Equilateral Triangle Construction and Observation

Use the limited toolbar below to construct an equilateral triangle.

Use the DISTANCE tool Toolbar Image afterwards to show that all 3 sides of your triangle have equal lengths. Why does your method of construction even work? How can we justify why all 3 sides are equal (aside from the fact GeoGebra says so)?

Use the ANGLE Toolbar Image tool to measure all 3 angles of this equilateral triangle. Then select the MOVE Toolbar Image tool and drag its vertices around. What do you notice?
