Why does a 3 legged support tripod work better than one with 4 legs?

If the surface on which it sits is slightly uneven, then a three-legged support will still sit stable. However, on an uneven surface, a four-legged support may wobble.

Theres seven girls each girl has 7 bags in each bag theres 7 cats each cat has 7 kittens how many legs are there in all?
7 girls = 14 legs. Hold that number for later. (7 girls) times (7 bags per girl) = 49 bags (49 bags) times (7 cats per bag) = 343 cats (343 cats) times (7 kittens per cat) = 2,401 kittens (343 cats) + (2,401 kittens) = 2,744 4-legged creatures (2,744 4-legged creatures) times (4 legs per creature) = 10,976 legs on the cats and kittens. Add 14 legs on the girls. Total = 10,990legs. (But I am still the only one headed for St. Ives.)

Why does a three legged support work better than a four legged one?
Three points determine a plane. To put it another way, a plane can always contact any set of three points. So the tips of the legs of a 3-legged support always contact the floor. A 4-legged support has four possible sets of three legs, i.e. four possible planes that it can contact. Unless all four legs are exactly the same length, their ends don't all lie in the same plane. When set down on a single plane ... like the floor ... the support winds up wobbling among different sets of three points.
How did the tripod get its name?
A tripod has 3 legs and the affix pod means leg so, three legs!
Why tripod is more stable than four legged table?
Because the three feet of the tripod are on the same plane, even if one leg is shorter it will not waver or stumble. However, with four legs, if one leg is shorter it will end up in two planes, or two tripods, and will always waver from one plane to the other, thus making the chair/table unstable. Chairs and tables are probably four legged because they are rectangular. If you want a three legged table you would need to have an extra sphere/block that has three legs branching out, and it would be more expensive.
