Triangles are INCREDIBLE! - Fantastic Fact 16

Subtitles

Triangles are incredible! Hexagons

are cool and all (and it's clear

I love them) but triangles are

arguably even more fascinating

and important. You see, triangles

are the only shape which cannot be bent.

It doesn't matter how much you

move the 3 points around, you

can never bend a triangle, only

rotate, scale, distort and otherwise

move it around. Lines and points

are the same, but they have no

surface area. The line is infinitely

thin and the point is infinitely small.

If you keep all sides of a triangle

the exact same length, the triangle

cannot be distorted at all. A

square can be deformed even if

all sides stay the same length.

Same with any other polygon, except

triangles. But hexagons still

look better.
