What is the strongest geometric shape?

There are several shapes that are used when strength is important The Circle The arc (think: circle) is the strongest structural shape, and in nature, the sphere is the strongest 3-d shape The reason being is that stress is distributed equally along the arc instead of concentrating at any one point Storage silos, storage tanks, diving helmets, space helmets, gas tanks, bubbles, planets, etc. Use cylinder or sphere shapes -- or both The Triangle The triangle is the strongest to as it holds it shape and has a base which is very strong a also has a strong support Yes, it is. The triangle is common in all sorts of building supports and trusses.It is strong because the three legs of a triangle define one and only one triangle. If all three sides are made of rigid material, the angles are fixed and cannot get larger or smaller without breaking at the joints, unlike a rectangle, for example, which can turn into a parallelogram and even collapse totally.

If you take a rectangle and place one diagonal piece from corner to corner, you can make that strong and stable, too, but doing that makes two triangles! Think about it! So yes, it is the strongest shape The Catenary Curve The overall shape of many bridges is in the shape of a catenary curve The catenary curve is the strongest shape for an arch which supports only its own shape.

Freely hanging cables naturally form a catenary curve NO, hexagons are the strongest shapes known Actually, these three are the strongest.(I was researching it on the web.) Yes == Yes, it is. The triangle is common in all sorts of building supports and trusses. It is strong because the three legs of a triangle define one and only one triangle.

So yes, it is the strongest shape The hexagon is the strongest shape known. Not many people know this but if you want something to hold a lot of weight pick a hexagon. Circles are good for diving and space helmets and tanks.

Triangles are good for building and bridges because the can't change their shape-unlike a square It's been said that the triangle is the strongest shape a triangle the strongest example- a truss is made of triangles and is used to build the strongest bridges.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
