Best Answer

Because the shape is sturdier, the shape makes it easy for the buildings to go high into the air and last because the shape makes it easier to go high into the air.

Is the area of a rectangle and a parallelogram be different?

No it isn't different because a rectangle is four sided and the corresponding angles are the same length. If you cut part of a rectangle into a triangle and put it on the opposite side it would turn into a parallelogram. You take part of it away and put it on another side that is no difference. So there is no differences about parallelogram and rectangle. (ONLY THE SHAPE OF COURSE.) Hope this helped you! >.<

When did Winston Churchill say you shape your buildings thereafter they shape us?

According to author, Dr. Mardy Grothe, the original quote was:"We shape our dwellings,and afterwards our dwellings shape us."This intriguing observation comes from a speech Churchill made in the House of Commons on October 28, 1944. Churchill made the speech during the rebuilding of the House of Commons, which had sustained heavy bombing damage during the Battle of Britain. A 1960 Time magazine article provided a slightly different version (it's also possible Churchill said it in different ways on separate occasions): "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us." Embedded in the observation is a profound architectural truth that applies to all buildings, public and private. In the beginning, buildings reflect the qualities of the people who design and construct them. Once built, the people who live and work in them take on the qualities of the buildings they inhabit.http://www.drmardy.com/chiasmus/masters/churchill1.shtml


Why is a square a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square?

a rectangle doesn't have four equal sided measurements, which is the definition of a square. also it can take one or more squares to make a rectangle but u can't make a rectangle into a square.
