You are the designer and asked to design the triangular pattern of the trust using rods of different
length.

Following are the rods of different length:

The rods can be joined end to end to make triangles. Given are the two examples:
(Note: You can also join at least two rods to make triangles)

Different triangles based on their sides can be constructed, such as,

Equilateral (Using rods, 5+2, 7, 4+3)
Isosceles (Using rods, 7, 6, 4+2)
Scalene (Using rods, 4, 3, 5)

Using the above examples as a guide, construct at least 5 different triangles using the different
lengths of rod. Also, categorize them according to the length of their sides.
What properties do each category of triangle have? Measure the sides and angles of each
triangle, then analyze the relationship between the measurements to verify their properties
through verification table.
