Geometry is the branch of mathematics that studies the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and other higher-dimensional analogues. Geometric shapes are all around us in the world. Here are some examples of geometric shapes in real life:
Circles: Circular objects like wheels, coins, and pizza pies are examples of circles.
Triangles: Triangular objects like slice of pie, sailing boats, and pyramids are examples of triangles.
Squares: Square objects like tiles, playing cards, and stop signs are examples of squares.
Rectangles: Rectangular objects like doorways, windowsills, and picture frames are examples or rectangles.
Parallelograms: Parallelogram shaped objects include stop signs and bricks.
Square rubber stamps
Square rubber stamps are common in the business world. They are used to stamp documents with a company’s logo or other information. Square rubber stamps can also be used for decorative purposes.
Square tiles on the floor
One of the most common examples of geometric shapes in real life is square tiles on the floor. You can find these in many homes, businesses, and public places. They are often used because they are easy to lay down and create a consistent look.
Square paper napkins
Square paper napkins typically measure around 12 inches (30 cm) on each side, though the exact dimensions can vary depending on the manufacturer. They usually have folds or creases that allow them to be easily folded into quarters or other shapes for use as wiping cloths or disposable placemats.
While most people think of square paper napkins as being purely functional, there are actually many different designs and patterns available. Some Napkin companies even offer personalized options, allowing customers to select their own colors, logos, or other images to be printed on the Napkin surface. This makes them ideal for use as promotional items or branded giveaways at corporate events and trade shows.
Chess boards
A chessboard is a checkerboard-like game board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Chessboards are used for playing a variety of chess variants, such as international chess, xiangqi (Chinese chess), shogi (Japanese chess) and many other games.
The standard chessboard has a light square at the lower right hand corner and dark squares elsewhere. The colors of the two sets of squares alternate between light and dark, typically black and white. In xiangqi, the traditional colors are red and green instead. Chessboards can also be made with different colors for the different sets of squares, such as blue and white or even pink and purple.
The size of each square on a chessboard is typically 1.75 inches (4.4 cm), but boards can be found in a wide range of sizes from 0.5 inches (1 cm) to 2.5 inches (6 cm). The smaller sizes are sometimes used for travel games or for playing in tight spaces, such as on an airplane tray table or in a car. The largest common size is 4 inches (10 cm), which is sometimes called tournament size. Some giant boards measure 6 feet (1 m 82 cm) or more across, while miniature boards can be as small as 2 inches (51 mm).
Virtual keyboard keys
A keyboard key is a small piece of hard plastic that sits on top of a metal spring. When you press down on the key, the spring pushes up on a small metal rod called the slider. The slider makes contact with the circuit board beneath the keys and completes an electrical connection, which tells your computer that you’ve pressed that particular key.
There are two main types of keyboard keys- those with flat tops and those with contoured or sculpted tops. The flat topped keys are sometimes referred to as chic let keys, because they resemble the shape of chewing gum pellets. Sculpted keys have slightly concave or convex faces to provide tactile feedback and prevent your finger from slipping off of the key while you’re typing.
Most laptop keyboards have chic let keys, while desktop keyboards tend to have sculpted keys. Some gaming keyboards also have special features like backlighting or mechanical switches that create a unique typing experience.
