Why is three legged stool stronger than a four legged chair?
it isnt It is not stronger. True, a 3-leg will not wobble because 3 points define a plane. However, a 3-legged table will tip over more easily than a 4-legged table. I suspect some science guru has done the physics on this and can prove what I say.
A carpenter knows a four-legged table can wobble whereas a three-legged table will not?
Yes. This is because any three points will always be coplanar, but a fourth point may not be.

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.
Why does a four legged table rock from side to side?
Either the legs are not secure to the frame, or the table is not level.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of three-legged stools as opposed to those with four legs?
When you have a four legged stool it can be unbalanced if one of legs is a different length than the others. if you have a three legged stool than even if one of the legs is uneven it will still balance evenly.
What's the difference between a bedside table and a nightstand?
A bedside table is a simple four legged table, while a nightstand is more akin to a cabinet or drawer chest.
What does the term three-legged stool mean?
A small seat that has three legs as opposed to four (or more)
Is three legged chair more stable than a four legged chair?
On a four legged chair, if any of the legs are not as long (or longer) as the others, the chair will wobble. On a three legged stoll, if one of the legs are different, the chair will only be uneven or fall over (depending on how drastic the difference is).
What is another name for a four legged animal?
Another name for a four legged animal is a quadruped.
How many four legged animals are there?
There would have to be trillions of four-legged animals that exist on Earth.
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.
What is a four legged animal?
a four legged animal is an animal that walks on four legs, scientifically called a quadraped.
