What is triangle ridigity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Rigidity A triangle has three sides and three angles, and each angle is held solidly in place by the side opposite it. This means that a triangle's angles are fixed, and that if pressure is placed anywhere on a triangle, its angles, unlike those of other shapes, will not change.

There appears to be a misspelling in the question "ri dig ity" should be "ri gid ity"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer would be "The property that three given side lengths determine the unique shape of a triangle."

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

The above definition is a statement about the "angles" of a triangle being "rigid."
