What is triangle?

A triangle is a shape with three straight sides and three corners, just like when you connect three dots on a piece of paper.

Imagine you have a pizza that’s been cut into three equal pieces. Each slice looks like a triangle, it has two straight edges from the crust to the tip, and one curved edge around the outside. But if you make those sides straight instead of curved, poof! You've got yourself a triangle.

Now think about stacking blocks. If you put three blocks together so that each one touches the other two, like they're holding hands, you’ve made a triangle shape too. No matter how big or small the blocks are, as long as there are three of them and each one is touching the others, it’s still a triangle.

Triangles are super strong shapes, engineers use them to build bridges and towers! So next time you see a slice of pizza or stack up your blocks, remember: you're looking at a triangle.
