Triangle:Strongest Geometric Structure

                                                        Have you ever thought "We have heard about many geometric figures like Squares, rectangles and many more.... but coming to their strength, which one is the strongest geometric structure?". The answer is simply triangle.
                                                                                             There's a reason behind my argument because triangle is the only figure that can resist stress on any direction without getting deformed. That is., when we push anywhere on a triangle, it either contracts or expands.... but doesn't bend from its shape.

                                                        
This property of triangle is used in the construction of a new type of architecture, called the Truss Bridge. This type of bridge structure uses triangles in its design so that it can resist any type of stress.
