Do rectangles have breadth?
Yes. It can be used as an alternative word for width.
Why are triangles used in the construction of bridges?
Triangles are used in structures because a triangle is a very stable shape that cannot be stretched or squashed easily - unlike rectangles which can easily become parallelograms.
How many rectangles are used in a net for a rectangular prism?
3 because you need one for the base and two for the sides, you will also need two triangles for either end.
How are parallelograms different from rectangles?
All parallelograms do not have 90 degree angles. Those that do are called rectangles, a special subgroup within the term.All that is required of a parallelogram is that opposite sides are parallel. Another special case of parallograms is the rhombus, a parallelogram with 4 equal sides but no right angles.A parallelogram is a 4-sided polygon where the opposite sides are parallel. A rectangle is a type of parallelogram, but it has the added requirement that all angles are right angles (90°).Sometimes the term parallelogram is used to indicate that a regular quadrilateral is not a rectangle, but has two pairs of identical angles.Rectangle is "a parallelogram with one right angle", (which means all angles are right)
How is geometry used in carpentry?
Geometry is used in carpentry because most houses are a combination of different shapes, rectangles and squares for walls and floors, ceilings and roof planes - triangles for roof structures. The pythagorean theorem is used both to figure the length of the different components (rafters, collar ties, etc.) of the roof structure and also to maintain square corners when laying out floors, walls, etc.
