Question

direct quotes i want to use:

1. “let’s start with a simple object, a cube. we want to break down the fundamentals in the simplest way possible. the way we start is by drawing a simple square.”
2. we now have vertical and horizontal lines that represent height and length. “however, to introduce the third dimension, width, we need to use a diagonal line.”
3. “generally, you would start with length and width as the first two dimensions, but in the case of drawing 3d shapes, we work with height and length first so that the square is upright, just to make it easier.”

ideas that i want to paraphrase:
a. to begin learning about a cube’s basics, start by drawing a simple square.
b. after creating a vertical (height) and horizontal (length) lines, a diagonal line is used to add the width dimension.
c. usually, length and width are the first two dimensions, but for drawing 3d shapes start with height and length (to keep the square upright) is easier.

explain in your own words. how do these quotes and paraphrases connect to my topic/claim or what do they mean?

Explanation:

1.

The quote is about starting to learn the basics of a cube by drawing a simple square, simplifying the process of understanding 3D (cube) from 2D (square). The paraphrase (A) restates this, emphasizing the start with a square for cube basics.

The quote explains that after having height (vertical) and length (horizontal) lines, a diagonal is used for width (3rd dimension). Paraphrase (B) rephrases this, detailing the steps to add the third dimension.

The quote says that usually length and width are first, but for drawing 3D shapes, starting with height and length (to keep the square upright) is easier. Paraphrase (C) restates this, highlighting the adjustment for easier 3D drawing.

Answer:

The quote and paraphrase (A) mean that to understand the cube's fundamentals, begin with drawing a square (a 2D shape) as a simple first step.
