What makes a triangle strong is the fact that there are only three vertices (corners). In a square where there are four, it is collapsible. It will bend at the vertices until it might look like a rhombus, so it is just structurally weak. A triangle doesn't have enough vertices to allow it to bend that way. That is why many tall structures are built with triangles, such as Roller Coasters and bridges, both of which take a lot of strain.
