Clearly designed to shield people from sun and rain. But isn't rectangular more sensible? Triangles have those narrow corners in three places where they shield virtually nothing.

Rectangular awnings are stodgy and boring. Triangular awnings are
more to the taste of design professionals.

You're not wrong about their utility.

Why would you say a triangle looks better than a rectangle? They're just two different shapes.

A triangle looks like a sail. It even has "sail" in the name. Sails
remind people of the boat the family owns, and how rich they are.

OtOH, if they're poor, they may not have 4 places to tie the awning, and
triangular only requires 3. Really poor people have to use pencil
shaped awnings.
No, those with only ONE place to tie to use a KITE

Have you ever tried to fly a one string kite? You need two to steer.

Wind resistance? They have to survive in bad weather.

Much easier to hang than a rectangle - any 3 points will work.

3 is not much less than 4. Think about why 3 wheeled cars are very unpopular.

That's a good point. Especially since often the ground may not be even. An extra leg would hold an expensive camera a lot better.

Computer chairs are now 5 legs/wheels. Ever sat on one of the old 4s? Even easier to tip over. Although with any number of legs I always manage to get the top of the back of my shoe caught under a leg, stand up, and send it flying behind me. A colleague once thought I was doing it in temper.
