We are surrounded by several geometric shapes. The mobile we use, the screen we watch, the bed we sleep on, and so on share a geometrical shape.
Snakes and ladder, one of the most played childhood games that is played by the help of dice which is a cube.
Cube is a 3-d shape that has 6 squares/faces, and at each vertex of the cube three of its squares meet together, and at the corners on the cube the angles are all right angles.
Let’s look at relevant examples of the cube in our day-to-day life.
Examples of Cube
#1. Ice Cubes.
Summers are starting to approach, and first thing we start doing is stacking our freezers with ice cube trays. It might be a little difficult to survive the blistering heat if we dunk handful of ice cubes to chill our drinks.
#2. Dice.
Dice are used in games and fun activities all over the world. A rolling dice always creates excitement and tension, whether you are at home with family sitting at the dinner table or you are at the casino. Dice games are fun for all ages. There are dots on every side from 1 to 6.
#3. Sugar Cubes.
Two cubes of sugar please! It is what we usually say when we are asked how much sugar we want for our coffee. Sugar, when seen in the cube form, is really interesting. Sugar is the most used sweetener in our daily lives. Sometimes the list can be comprised of shapes that you never would have even considered!
#4. Rubik Cube.
The Rubik Cube is the best selling and also one of the most fascinating infants in toys of all time. It was invented to demonstrate the three dimensional geometry of a cube to students. In all of its variations, it even won the “Toy of the Year” award in 1980-81.
#5. Antique Iron Lockers.
We’ve seen the stealing scenes in movies and daily soaps; where the thief steals the money and jewellery they stole from a cubic locker.
Antique Iron lockers are usually decorative pieces that are seen in the homes of rich people, where they store their jewellery and folding money and other artefacts in.
#6. Gift Boxes.
Cube shaped gift boxes are considered one of the most formal and interesting gift boxes to present to others.
#7. Cubical Building Blocks.
Most of us have played the game in our childhood to build a tomb or a tower with small blocks. These are shaped cubically because shape is what gives stability in construction.
#8. Ice Cubes.
An ice cube is a cube piece of frozen water in 3 dimensional space. Water has a property that, it can take on the shape of its container when it is poured into, as it has no opposing or internal negation or orientation to keep it structured.
Ice is mostly formed in the common cubic ice tray that readily allows the cooking process to provide cubes of water frozen into a cold state. This makes the ice cubes to be one of the most common examples of cube shaped objects that exist in the daily life.
#9. Carton Boxes.
Carton boxes, we all need a lot of them every time we have to shift all of our stuff from one place to another! Carton boxes are made of cardboard and come in many sizes. The two most common geometric shapes used in carton manufacturing companies are Cubes and Cuboids.
#10. Lego Blocks.
Lego is one of the most famous construction toys where you build fun artefacts from the interlocking building blocks made of plastic legs! Part of the facets of the Lego’s are cubical and additive shapes that build on such coca tree shapes and patterns at the same time.
#11. Chocolate Cubes.
Cube shape is one of the simplest artistic geometry practised on chocolate bars that contain a multiple connected cubical volume’s also some of the same chocolate originally manufacture d as a chocolate cube.
#12. Rooms.
If the magnitude of the length, width and height in a setting is exactly the same, the room we refer to is geometrically cubical and contains 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges geometrically suggesting it proportions relative to each other.
This means that the room you are sitting in is itself another example of the kind of cube shaped objects there are in the real life!
