Triangles and octet-trusses are used alot in bridges become they hold their shape well when subject to a variety of stresses. However hexagons and lorimerlite frameworks are used in different conditions, where they must resist only compression as opposed to a variety of stresses. Also the straight line is the best geometry for resisting tension, hence the use of steel cables.

How are triangles used in engineering?
triangles are the second strongest shape next to the arch
What is a translation of a geometric figure?
A geometric figure is a shape like a square or rectangle and it can be used in different views like 3D, 2D and 1D would be just a line. So there is your answer!
What shape is used to mark equal distance in a construction?
It is a pair of compasses.
Why are round containers used to transport liquid?
Spheres are the strongest shape for a given amount of construction material; cylinders are the next strongest.
Which shapes and designs are the strongest?
The triangle is the strongest geometric shape, but it's two-dimensional. Applying the idea (via cross bracing or the like) to construction is something that has been done for centuries. This is a simplified answer as the question is very general, but the application of a triangle or an angular tie to strengthen vertical elements and add rigidity to a structure is something that can be seen frequently.djsfjegythgeydgtryeg
What is the strongest shape in built structures?
In terms of tensile strength it's the hexagon, as used in the construction of carbon nanotubes.

How are geometric shapes used in architecture?
Well, isn't a rectangular prism a geometric shape? And isn't a brick a rectangular prism? see this is one way that geometric shapes are used in architecture.
This type of shape is used in many Native American designs?
geometric
What tool can be used in a formal geometric construction?
A pair of compasses, a protractor, a ruler, pencil and paper
What part of speech is arithmetic?
'Geometric' is an adjective, as it is used to describe something, e.g. a geometric shape. It is based on the noun 'geometry'.
What kind of shapes are used in Truss bridges?
The geometric shape used in truss bridges is the triangle.
Why are triangles used in the Navajo bridge?
A triangle is one of the strongest shapes for construction. A square or rectangle can deform into a parallelogram when loaded with weight, but a triangle cannot change shape without breaking one of the sides.
