Showing the ratio of any two sides in a triangle is the same, given the shape of the triangle is invariant

If you drag point C, you can change the size of the triangle below dragging the entire triangle can be used to rotate it (around a point "near" B). Notice that the ratio of the three sides, shown on the right, does not change.
