Why is triangle stronger than a rectangle?
Given unchanging lengths of the sides, a triangle cannot change its shape. But given unchanging lengths of the sides of a rectangle, it can change its shape by some force by changing its angle measurements. If a 2d load were put on a rectangle, enough force could squish the rectangle into a parallelogram, whereas a triangle cannot change shape without changing the lengths of its sides or bending its sides out of shape (most likely into a curve).Given these properties, a rectangle can collapse its shape much more easily and is flimsy compared to a triangle.
How is the rectangle different than the triangle?
A rectangle has 4 sides, while a triangle has 3 sides.
Is a trapezium stronger than a rectangle in building?
No.
Does a right triangle or a rectangle have the most right angles?
Rectangle has more right angles than the right triangle. The right triangle only has 1 right angle, while the rectangle has 4.
Why is a square stronger than a triangle?
It is NOT!
What shape has fewer sides than a rectangle?
triangle
How many fewer triangle are there than rectangle?
1
How is a rectangle and a triangle the same?
They are both geometric shapes
Is a rectangle and a triangle similar?
Rectangle has 4 sides, and triangle has 3 sides. So they are similar, they both have sides - one has more than the other :)
A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas?
it is possible, if the triangle is bigger than the rectangle, for example the rectangle has a base of 5 and height of 2-- so the area is 10; and then the triangle has a base of 5 and a height of 4-- the area is also 10.
The length of a rectangle is 1cm longer than its width If the diagonal of the rectangle is 5cm what are the dimensions of the rectangle in centimeters?
Half a rectangle is a right angled triangle. Pythagoras : Triangle whose hypotenuse is 5 and one side is 1 unit greater than the third must be a 3-4-5 triangle, so the rectangle is 3 cm x 4 cm
Is a rectangle a triangle?
No, a triangle has 3 sides, a rectangle has 4
