Question

What are functions of structures?

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) Functions

Structures are designed for 4 basic functions. These are:

a) to support - the legs of a chair are designed to support the weight of the user and chair;

b) to contain - the shell of an egg is meant to contain and protect the inside of the egg;

c) to protect - the helmet is designed to protect the user's head;

d) to span - a long structure does not need to span if the structure is lying on the ground. A bridge requires less spanning design if there are several intermediate supports that are near to each other. But when the bridge has supports that are spaced far apart, the bridge will sag beyond allowable limits if it is not designed to span.

here is the correct answer please mark me brainliest and give thanks
