A concrete example: Euclidean Geometry in the plane (R^2). Here, the CBS inequality says that the area of a parallelogram is less than or equal to the product of the length of its sides. If the parallelogram happens to be a square, they are equal.

In the language of inner products, the CBS inequality says that
<x, y>^2 <= <x, x> * <y, y>. An inner product really represents translating the Euclidean ideas of "area" and "angle" to more abstract spaces.
