it make it strong as it is the strongest shape.
hope this helped.
i tried to figure out this question whilst helping my daughter with her pointless science question 'Why are structure with triangles in them strong

What shapes support bridges the most?
Triangles
What are the strongest bridges?
Ones that make use of triangles.
Why is it important to use angles triangles and squares when building bridges?
Triangles are the strongest type of shape. It is very sturdy, but takes up little space. It is the best for building bridges.
Where do you see triangles every day?
You can see triangles in stairs, stras, bridges, and Disney Epcot Center
How triangles used in daily life?
Aren't triangles structurally strong? So they are used in bridges and architechture.
What kind of shapes are used in Truss bridges?
The geometric shape used in truss bridges is the triangle.
What are three structures that use triangles?
towers,pyramids, and bridges
Two real life examples of a right triangle?
Well, Some Bridges have right triangles in them if the are truss bridges. Also paper footballs are right triangles. Hope that helped a little.
What are three possible buildings that use triangles?
Pyramids have triangular faces, which might count. Bridges utilize triangles extensively in their design due to the structural support that triangles gives. Towers also utilize triangles for the same reason as bridges: they form a strong structure which resists bending and sagging.
Why do you often see triangles in buildings bridges and furniture?
Structural strength.
Why are triangles good for bridges?
The triangle is a rigid shape, more so than a square, for example.
What contributions did Pythagoras made for us?
without triangles we would not be able to build proper bridges, would not be able to re- enforce structures. we would not be able to construct aeroplane frames
