Why is a triangle the strongest polygon?
because you can't just change one of the angles or one of the side lengths without breaking the triangle. All the angles and sides re-inforce each other. Image a square made out of sticks that are attached loosely at the corners. You can squish two of the corners together to make a diamond shape, and you haven't changed the length of the sides. But if you have a triangle made out of sticks, you can't change it's shape without destroying it.

Can a hexagon and a square be made to tessellate?

A shape with all equal sides?
A square, a cube, a diamond, a equilateral triangle, a triangular based pyramid made of equilateral triangles...
Which shape is more stable a triangle a square or a diamond?
A triangle is the most stable shape out of the three because it has three sides that distribute forces evenly. A square is next in terms of stability because it has four equal sides, while a diamond is the least stable due to its slanted sides that can cause it to tip over more easily.
What shape can be made by combining a polygon and triange?
It will be a polygon, although the exact nature of the resulting polygon will depend on the original polygon, its dimensions relative to the triangle, whether or not the two shapes can overlap and so on.
What type of triangle is made by cutting a square diagonally in half?
