Why does it always have to be a triangle?

[IAMNathanael]

Sort of a rhetorical question... but I want to point out these mysterious geographic spots.
I just learned yesterday the Nevada Triangle is a real thing

[Ill_made_Knight]

You left out the "Red Triangle" dude...

As to why? Maybe because you never hear of anyone playing the parallelogram in the orchestra?

[AviatorTom]

Any three points make a triangle. You can create one wherever you want.

[IAMNathanael]

Ah yes. Trudat

In engineering and statics in general - a triangle is an extremely stable arrangement.

Nature, and super-nature ( :) ) knows that.

[IAMNathanael]

Nature knows aswell hexagon are extremely stable

[Astarlessnightsky]

Smallest amount of points needed to create an area.

Also any other shape can be displayed as a number of triangles.

Also by having 3 fixed points, like 3 cities or 3 islands, you can create a location even with out the use of gps data.

Cheers to things that make you ponder & add a love triangle to that as well.

[Recurrence]

Because any three points can be connected by straight lines that ignore topography and form a triangle

[Wise4myage]

That's a good question.

[Wise4myage]

Their is one in Alaska as well.

[IAMNathanael]

True? I didn't know. I want to know about them all...
