Question 3.
Investigate:
Use strips and fasteners to make a triangle and a quadrilateral.
Try to push inward at any one vertex of the triangle. Do the same to the quadrilateral.
Is the triangle distorted? Is the quadrilateral distorted? Is the triangle rigid?
Why is it that structures like electric towers make use of triangular shapes and not quadrilaterals?
Solution:
On pushing inward at any one vertex of the triangle, we find that the triangle is not distorted. Whereas doing so with the quadrilateral we find that it is distorted. Triangle is rigid. Thus, we make use of triangular shapes in structures like electric towers as triangular shapes are more rigid.
