Oh, dude, are we building a bridge or planning a geometry heist? Well, technically speaking, an arch is stronger than a triangle because it can distribute weight more evenly. But hey, if you're just doodling shapes on a napkin, I don't think it really matters which one you pick.

EzraWell, 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.

Is there any shape stronger than a triangle?
An arc.
What is stronger a triangle or a circle?
Circles are a stronger geometrical shape than a triangle. Circles distribute weight equally which makes it more stable. That is why pot holes are circles.
Is an arch a triangle?
A triangle must have straight lines.
What shape is not a triangle?
what shape is not a triangle but has 3 sides
A triangle an example of what kind of shape?
A triangle is a geometric shape.
