Why is triangle stronger than a rectangle?
Given unchanging lengths of the sides, a triangle cannot change its shape. But given unchanging lengths of the sides of a rectangle, it can change its shape by some force by changing its angle measurements. If a 2d load were put on a rectangle, enough force could squish the rectangle into a parallelogram, whereas a triangle cannot change shape without changing the lengths of its sides or bending its sides out of shape (most likely into a curve).Given these properties, a rectangle can collapse its shape much more easily and is flimsy compared to a triangle.
A rhombus is a rectangle?
no a rectangle is very different from a rhombus because a rhombus different angles than a rectangle
Is a 2 x 4 rectangle congruent to a 4 x 8 rectangle?
No, a 2 by 4 rectangle is not congruent to a 4 by 8 rectangle. They are similar, but the 4 by 8 rectangle is 4 times bigger than the 2 by 4.
What shape has fewer sides than a rectangle?
triangle
What is the measure of the trapezoid large angle?
The largest angle of a trapezium can be any value just less than 180 degrees.
How is a triangle stronger than a rectangle?
the rectangle is sroger becuz its loger
Is a cubical building built out of triangles stronger than a geodesic dome?
yes. every square or rectangle and be divided into two triangles by connecting a pair of opposite corners.
What is a quandrangle that has at least 1 right angle?
A right angled quadrangle! It can be a trapezium, kite, arrowhead, rectangle or square. It cannot be a parallelogram or rhombus - other than a rectangle or square respectively.
What is a four sided shape with two right angles?
If ONLY two right angles, then it could be a right angled trapezium or a kite If more than two it must be a rectangle (a square is an equilateral rectangle).
What other than a square is a four sided shape?
Rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezium, kite. Also a chevron, which is a concave 4-sided shape.
A quadrangle that has at least 1 right angle?
a square * * * * * It need not be a square. It is simply a right angled quadrangle! It can be a trapezium, kite, arrowhead, rectangle or square. It cannot be a parallelogram or rhombus - other than a rectangle or square respectively.
What is another name for a 4 sided polygon other than quadrilateral or rectangle or square?
hrombos, rhombus (gig); trapezion, trapezium (wedge); trapezoid (wedgelike)
What four sided shape has two right angles?
I think the answer is SQUARE * * * * * A correct but incomplete answer. If ONLY two right angles, then it could be a right angled trapezium or a kite If more than two it must be a rectangle (a square is an equilateral rectangle).
What shape has parallel opposite sides but is not a rectangle?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of opposite sides.Other than a rectangle (or a square), this would be a rhombus or diamond shape.A quadrilateral with only one set of parallel sides is a trapezoid (trapezium in the UK).
What was Rome's secret to building stronger and faster than other cultures?
They discovered how to make and use concrete for their building structures.
Why do they use rectangle bricks on brick buildings instead of cubes?
Rectangles can overlap and interlock better than cubes, which makes walls stronger.
Why is concrete better than wood?
concrete is better than wood because concrete is much stronger and that's why most of the building are made out of it
