Only if it is a regular tetrahedron, regular octahedron, or regular icosahedron. All other geodesics have isosceles triangle faces, not equilateral triangles.

Why does a geodesic dome stay up?

The basic concept of a geodesic dome is very simple. It is composed of a series of triangles, and the triangle is a rigid shape. That's why the dome stays up.

What is a geodesic dome?

A geodesic dome is a shell that is made of a lot of small triangles (typically) and is shaped like a sphere. (for more information on this, please go to the wikipedia article, thanks.)


How many equilateral triangles in a geodesic dome?

The answer varies depending on the exact type of geodesic dome you are using. A 2 frequency and 4 frequency geodesic domes use 20 equilateral triangles despite the two-frequency having many more faces than the 2 frequency where the 3 frequency geodesic dome (150 sided) uses none at all. The above calculations, however, are only common to a certain architectural model. Assuming the domes are built mathematically instead of according to architectural integrity, the number of equilateral triangles in a "pure" dome, a geodesic sphere, is exactly equal to the number of faces, by definition.


Who uses geodesic domes?

Geodesic domes are used by individuals, communities, and organizations for various purposes such as greenhouses, event spaces, disaster relief shelters, and even homes. They are valued for their strength, energy efficiency, and unique design.

What geometric shape starts with the letter g?

The geometric shape that starts with the letter "G" is a "geodesic dome." A geodesic dome is a spherical structure composed of a network of geometric shapes called geodesic polyhedra. These polyhedra are typically triangles or other polygons that are arranged to form a dome-like structure. Geodesic domes are known for their strength and efficiency in distributing stress across the structure.


What is a real world example of a Geodesic dome?

The 'big ball' at Epcot in Orlando Florida, is a Geodesic sphere. The old dome-like playground equipment is based on the same structure as a geodesic dome. I've posted a couple of links about geodesic domes with some pictures.
