Straw pyramids are stronger structures than straw cubes because the stress is distributed equally across the triangular sides of the pyramid, allowing it to withstand pressure better. A pyramid requires fewer straws (8 versus 12 for a cube) and remains stable, as shown by the Great Pyramid of Giza still standing after 4000 years.

4. For making a cube we need 12
straws.
But for pyramid we need only 8
straws.

5. Now we can check the Strength by applying
stress. Apply stress using hands on the models
we made.

8. The reason for this is the stress we
applied in the pyramid is equally
given to the sides of that pyramid.
Thus pyramids are stronger than cubes.
The great pyramid of Giza is the best
example for strength of pyramid. It’s built
4000 years ago and still remains stable.
