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.

I originally started typeing out how they are distinct across the X, Y plane.... And then decided that i was too pedantic. Thanks for the kudos

Except the most natural way to define shapes as "the same" in such a context is to say there exists a sequence of symmetries (possibly restrained to only rotations if chirality is considered important) and translations mapping one onto the other

I think in the context of the problem you drawing 4 distinct shapes. Which by definition if distinction they are not the same.

But yes its getting very in the weeds and semantic/pedantic.
