Triangles are the most "rigid" shape in geometry. A possible definition might be: Something that does not move Something that is "fixed" at its joints. Triangulation of material adds strength by reducing lateral movement.

The triangle holds up very well to forces from many directions. The shape of the triangle can either consolidate force to one point or split a force over the base of the triangle.
