Because the sides of the rectangle are short, which make it weak. A square is strong because all sides are the same length. Do you understand?

Rectangles can deform easily when force is applied diagonally, compared to shapes like triangles or arches that distribute stress more evenly. This is why triangles are often used in structures like bridges or buildings for added strength and stability.
