Q 38. Triangles are one of the most basic and strong shape in geometry, which is ,, hy they
are used so frequently in constructi on of bridges. Triangles are able to distribute weight
evenl y and withstand significant amount of force, making them ideal for supporting the large
loads that bridges carry. In addition , triangles can be pieced together to create larger
structures, which is helpful when spanning long distances. In the figure given belo\, .
isosceles triangles are used to construct the bridge in which the base (unequal side) cf triangle
is 8 m and its perimeter is 18 m.
