‭Congruent‬‭Triangles‬‭(5‬‭points)‬

‭ irections:‬ ‭Congruent‬ ‭triangles‬ ‭are‬ ‭often‬ ‭used‬ ‭by‬ ‭engineers‬ ‭and‬ ‭architects‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭design‬ ‭of‬ ‭many‬
D
‭structures.‬ ‭Find‬ ‭three‬ ‭different‬ ‭examples‬ ‭of‬ ‭structures‬ ‭that‬ ‭use‬ ‭congruent‬ ‭triangles.‬ ‭Each‬ ‭picture‬ ‭must‬
‭represent‬‭a‬‭different‬‭type‬‭of‬‭structure.‬

‭1)‬ P
‭ aste‬ ‭your‬ ‭picture‬ ‭of‬ ‭3‬ ‭different‬ ‭structures‬ ‭that‬ ‭use‬ ‭congruent‬ ‭triangles‬ ‭here.‬ ‭These‬ ‭should‬ ‭be‬ ‭3‬
‭different‬‭types‬‭of‬‭structures;‬‭for‬‭example,‬‭do‬‭not‬‭use‬‭3‬‭different‬‭bridges.‬‭(3‬‭points)‬

‭2)‬ P
‭ rovide‬‭an‬‭explanation‬‭of‬‭why‬‭congruent‬‭triangles‬‭are‬‭used‬‭in‬‭the‬‭design‬‭of‬‭so‬‭many‬‭structures.‬‭Your‬
‭answer‬ ‭must‬ ‭be‬ ‭at‬ ‭least‬ ‭two‬ ‭complete‬ ‭sentences.‬ ‭You‬ ‭do‬ ‭NOT‬ ‭need‬ ‭to‬ ‭prove‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬ ‭triangles‬‭are‬
‭congruent,‬‭you‬‭only‬‭need‬‭to‬‭explain‬‭why‬‭congruent‬‭triangles‬‭are‬‭used.‬‭(2‬‭points)‬

‭ ongruent‬ ‭triangles‬ ‭are‬ ‭building‬ ‭blocks‬ ‭for‬ ‭a‬ ‭structure.‬ ‭They‬ ‭give‬ ‭stability‬ ‭to‬ ‭structures‬ ‭by‬ ‭putting‬ ‭all‬ ‭the‬
C
‭weight‬‭on‬‭the‬‭base‬‭of‬‭the‬‭structure.‬
