Geometric Constraints Reflection Post

The shapes we used in this project was mainly triangles, formed into the form of triangular pyramids because we thought triangles were very strong. The angles that resulted from our shapes were 60 degree angles all around the structure. The surface area is 54.2 in^2, including the bottom of the structure. We would probably cover the outside of the structure with a combination of wood and concrete, and we would need around 40.65 in^2 to cover the outside of the structure. The inside of the structure has the same surface area. I would assume that 6 people would be able to fit inside comfortably, especially since there is a second level to the structure. To test the strength of the building, we placed two composition notebooks successfully on top of the building without having it collapse. We also use a hammer and hit it a few times before hand. To follow the "form follows function" practice, we used triangles since they are super strong, and our structure turned out to work fairly well.
