Question

3.
The following figure shows the net of a prism.
(a) Fold the net to form a 3D object. Draw
its sketch.
(b) Name the prism.​

Answer 1

A geometry net is a 2-dimensional shape that can be folded to form a 3-dimensional shape or a solid. Or a net is a pattern made when the surface of a three-dimensional figure is laid out flat showing each face of the figure. A solid may have different nets.

Here are some steps to determine whether a net forms a solid:

Make sure that the solid and the net have the same number of faces and that the shapes of the faces of the solid match the shapes of the corresponding faces in the net.

Visualize how the net is to be folded to form the solid and make sure that all the sides fit together properly.

Nets are helpful when we need to find the surface area of the solids.
