What solid shape can be made with 2 circles and 1 large triangle?
Cylinder
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?
No. Hexagons and squares will each tessellate by themselves but one can not make a tessellation out of hexagons and squares combined. However, if you add in a third shape, the triangle, one can make a tessellation.
