Paper, marker or colored pencil, scissors or carving knife, adhesive tape, ruler, printer (optional).
Methods/steps
1, find a piece of paper. The bigger the paper, the bigger the cube can be made.
2. Draw a rectangle in the center of the paper, and divide it into four squares with sides of 2 inches.
3. Draw another square on the right of the second square above.
Draw another square on the left of the second square above.
Now it looks like a cross with six squares of equal size, and the longer part is facing you. If you have a printer, you can print out the following graphics and use them as templates. Pay attention to the "ears" or labels on the sides and top of the cube-they are very useful when you want to paste boxes.
5, with scissors or pencil sharpener, cut along the periphery of the figure. If you print out the above template and want to paste it, please be careful not to cut off the label.
6. Fold this paper. Fold this paper inward along the inside line, and if you intend to paste it, please also fold the label inward.
7. Align the folding surface. The square at the bottom should be horizontal or vertical to the square in the middle.
8. Make a cube. Cubes can be made by sticking and fixing each surface with adhesive tape. If you stick it with glue, you can drop a few drops of glue on the label and then stick the label on the outside of the cube.
9. The production is finished.
Extended data:
Cubes, also called cubes, are regular polyhedrons composed of six square faces, so they are also called regular hexahedrons. It has 12 edges and 8 vertices. Cube is a special kind of cuboid.
Geometric attribute
A cube has 1 1 different expansion diagrams, that is to say, we can cut the seven sides of a hollow cube in1/different ways and flatten them into a plane figure.
If we want to color the cube so that the adjacent faces are different in color, we need at least three colors (similar to the four-color problem).
Cube is the only Plato regular polyhedron that can independently and densely lay a three-dimensional Euclidean space, so cube stack is also the only normal stack in four dimensions (stack in three-dimensional space is topologically equivalent to four-dimensional polyhedron).
It is also the only square face with even sides in Plato's solid, so it is a unique annular polyhedron in Plato's solid (all its opposite faces are symmetrical about the center of the cube).
By cutting the cube diagonally, six congruent regular 4 prisms (but not semi-regular, the ratio of base length to side length is 2:√3) can be obtained. A rhombic dodecahedron can be obtained by pasting the square face on the original cube (every two triangles are combined into a rhombus).
