Well, isn't that just a happy little saying! You see, a triangle is made up of three sides and three angles, which gives it stability and rigidity. Unlike other polygons that can change shape or collapse, a triangle always keeps its form, just like a strong foundation in a painting. So, remember, just like a triangle, stay true to your values and beliefs, and you'll stand strong no matter what challenges come your way.

TaigaOh, dude, that's just a fancy way of saying a triangle is the only polygon that doesn't collapse when you try to squish it. Like, imagine trying to turn a square into a rhombus - it's just not gonna work. Triangles are like the sturdy backbone of the polygon world, holding everything together with their three sides.
The saying "the triangle is the only rigid polygon" refers to the fact that a triangle is the only polygon that will not change its shape when its side lengths are fixed. This is due to the unique property of triangles where the sum of the measures of its interior angles is always 180 degrees, known as the Triangle Sum Theorem. In contrast, other polygons with more than three sides can deform or change shape while maintaining fixed side lengths.

What does it mean to have a polygon?
A polygon is a shape with multiple sides. For example, a triangle is a polygon with 3 sides.
Is it true that if a polygon has three sides then it is a triangle?
Yes, if that's all the polygon has. I mean, a hexagon also has three sides.
Is hexagon the strongest shape?
Well basically yeah it kinda is. A hexagon is A six sided figure. We know that many geometric buildings contains triangles. When a hexagon is cut into two it is a trapezoid. when that is cut into two in is a triangle. a hexagon is basically a lot of triangles stuck together. We all know that i triangle can't be stronger than two or more. so what do you think is stronger, a triangle or a hexagon. * * * * * The answer will depend on what you mean by "strongest" but the above answer is just a load of garbage! Any polygon with four or more sides is not rigid. It can be skewed in the same way that a square can be flexed so that it becomes a rhombus. The only rigid polygon is a triangle. That is one reason why triangles are used in structures and also why rectangles (or similar shapes) need to be cross-braced.
Which term describes a polygon with no dents in it?
A convex polygon.I suspect that what you mean is a convex polygon.
What is the name of a polyhedron that has 3 sides?
Short answer: there isn't one. The polyhedron with the smallest number of faces (which is probably what you mean) is the tetrahedron, which has four faces.Maybe you meant polygon, in which case the answer is a triangle.
