the Science of Triangles

Description

I ended up doing a fact based page on Triangles because I found so many photos of structures that use triangles and I wanted to use them all!! LOL

The fact that triangles are pretty much the strongest shape for building is why there are so many triangles in so many structures around the world. This fact has also clearly been known since ancient times. This is probably also why the great pyramids of Egypt are the ONLY ancient wonder still standing today. None of the other wonders used triangles as their support.

The epcot ball in Disney world (Florida) may be circle, but when you look at it close up, it is made up of hundreds of triangles!!

Triangles cannot be pushed out of shape unlike circles and squares. If you push a square or a rectangle out of alignment, you get a parallelogram. If you push a circle out of shape you get an oval.
