There are houses with rectangle roofs too. Not only that but you don't need Pythagorean therm to build a house..

Did you see Django Unchained? If not, that one too. The most entertanining movie of the year for me.

Need trigonometry to calculate angles and such for any kind of structure. Bridges, supports etc. That's more civil eng ****.
Triangle are the strongest of all the shapes, so its a great support for sturctures, and is henced used to reinfornce them.
I remember in grade 7, we had to build bridges out of triangles using popsicle sticks. Mine withstood 20 kg of force. Was best in class
Yeah I realize that but where do you see triangles actually used for support? I mean they said that but I've never really seen a triangle used to support a bridge. Very few anyways.

Can we stop talking about math?
It's not as bad as LL 43, last 7 pages you guys were making chemistry jokes.

I hate school math. Adding, subtracting, money.. all that good stuff is easy. Stuff you actually use, so easy.. The rest is garbage.

They are if you see if from underneath, or the internal structure. Go to your attic - if the bottom of the roof isn't completely covered, you will see triangular wooden shapes supporting the roof.
It's used everywhere.

I'm talking about in a bridge.
It's just massive slabs of concrete. The odd old school metal bridge has triangles, I'll give you that, but now a days they just slap concrete everywhere. I understand that, but you don't really need that much math to figure it out. Especially not HALF of that stupid trig **** to figure out your roof.

I hated Chemistry in school and Uni. Never went to class/tutorial, and barely scraped by 1st year chem. Good thing I don't have to take that **** ever again.

The concrete is the covering on top of the internal structure. The internal structure is supported by triangles.
How are you gonna build triangles if you don't know **** about about them?

They make it a lot harder then it has to be is what I'm trying to say lol. And not everyone is going to be engineers like this, so teaching it in school is just asking for people to do bad. I guess that's my point.
