Yes. Given three lengths, e.g. 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, there is only one triangle that can be made - hence SSS being a proof of congruence. This makes it rigid - it can't be transformed nto another triangle, so it can't move. Compare this to a quadrilateral; it isn't rigid. A square can "slide" into a rhombus, a rectangle into a parallelogram. For evidence, cout some card strips and use paper fasteners to hold the ends together. A triangle so constructed is rigid, a quadrilateral can be distorted.

Is a pentagon rigid?
No. A triangle is the only rigid polygon.
Is a hexagon a rigid shape?
No
Is a diamond a rigid shape?
A diamond is not a rigid shape unless it has a brace. A brace is a diagonal line you put inside shapes to make them rigid. Triangles are rigid so if you put a brace in a square to make two triangles the square is now rigid.
If a triangle is obtuse where is the orthocenter of the triangle found?
If a triangle is obtuse, the orthocenter of the triangle actually lies outside of the triangle. If the triangle is acute, the orthocenter of the triangle lies on the inside of the triangle
Is a triangle an equilateral triangle or a obtuse triangle or scalene triangle or a right triangle?
A triangle can be constructed into any of the given formats.
Is a pentagon rigid?
No. A triangle is the only rigid polygon.
Is a triangle a rigid shape?
Yes.
Why is the triangle the most rigid polygon?
The triangle is the most rigid polygon because amongst the other polygons, it has the least amount of sides.
How do you find if a polygon is a rigid plane-shape?
The only convex polygon that is rigid is a triangle.
What shapes are rigid?
triangle , square , rectangle
What is the most rigid shape?
It's The Triangle
What is something unique about the triangle?
It is a rigid 2-dimensional shape.
What shape made out of straight pieces is strongest or most rigid?
The most rigid shape that you can make out of straight pieces is the triangle.
What shape is very rigid?
2D - the triangle 3D - the tetrahedron (i.e. it has a triangle on each side and there are 4 sides.
Are regular hexagons rigid?
No. The only rigid polygon is a triangle. Any other needs diagonals - which break up the polygon into triangles.
What is 3 differences between a triangle and rhombus?
A triangle has 3 vertices, a rhombus has 4. All sides of a rhombus are of equal length, they need not be for a triangle. A triangle is a rigid shape, a rhombus is not.
What does the saying of the triangle is the only rigid polygon mean?
