Can any 3D shape other than a square tessellate?

If you are comparing with a square then you are thinking of 2D shapes not 3D. The answer is yes there are other 2D shapes that tessellate.You have to look no further than nature to provide an example; the hexagon which is the shape that provides the basis for the honeycomb that bees use!Another example would be some triangles. For example, two equal right angle triangles will fit together to form a rectangle (which clearly tessellates).

What shape is stronger an arch or a triangle?

Well, after studying extensively on this subject for countless years at the University of Cambridge, my colleagues and I have determined that, in fact, an arch is BY FAR the stronger of the two shapes. It is a common misconception that a triangle is stronger, and it has been my life work to prove this fact wrong. That is all.-Yea, after reading this I have to agree 100%. I remember working on a science project in the fifth grade and this tool bag argued with me over this point by saying that triangles were stronger. We went with his idea, which led us to FAIL our PROJECT.-This sounds right and I would agree. However, I must add that, a GROUP of triangles together can be potentially stronger than an arch. A single triangle is far weaker than an arch.
