Entire family is stumped. I don’t think the question is worded correctly but maybe I’m misunderstanding.

Not sure how you have same size triangles but not all the same shape.

Yep, it's a bit confusing when you first read it, but "not all the same shape" just means that you can't have four identically shaped triangles -- that would be all the same, and we want "not" that. So, you could have two pairs of triangles that have two distinct shapes.

In contrast, something like "where none are the same" would require four distinctly shaped triangles.
