It really depends on what kind of strength you are looking for, a triangle is the strongest shape when rigidity is what is needed (so when you want to have a strong cantilever structure or a general structure that can resist a variety of stresses). It's difficult to say what might be the second strongest shape in such circumstances, but maybe a triangle that is not equilateral, but this is an over simplification. An octet-truss is the strongest structure for cantilevering because of the strength of the triangle
However if its 'hardness' you're looking for, or resistance to purely compression, a tessellation of hexagons is your strongest shape, and therefore perhapse an irregular hexagon is your second strongest. A lorimerlite framework is the strongest truss under compression because of the strength of hexagons.

Do Gases have the strongest intermolecular bonds?
Gases don't form inter-molecular bonds, as the molecules are free floating. Solids would have the strongest, being held rigidly in a single shape, unlike liquids.

Triangle. Its the strongest geometric shape
What is a term for a geometric figure that encloses another geometric figure.?
In 2-dimensional geometry, the first shape circumscribesthe second while the second is inscribed in the first.
Which shapes and designs are the strongest?
The triangle is the strongest geometric shape, but it's two-dimensional. Applying the idea (via cross bracing or the like) to construction is something that has been done for centuries. This is a simplified answer as the question is very general, but the application of a triangle or an angular tie to strengthen vertical elements and add rigidity to a structure is something that can be seen frequently.djsfjegythgeydgtryeg
What geometric shape is a tepee?
Oh, dude, a tepee is like a cone, you know, like those ice cream cones but way bigger and not as tasty. So, yeah, it's a cone-shaped structure used by some Native American tribes. But hey, if you're ever hungry, don't try to lick a tepee thinking it's an ice cream cone, it won't end well.
