nets of solid figures

• a neg is a 2d )2 dimensional) shape it can be folded to form a 3d shape or space figure.
• it is easier to create more complicated space figures by first drawing a net that shows the layout of adjacent faces
• steps on how to determine whether or not a given net forms a solid

  • verify the net and the solid have the same number of polygonal regions or faces
  • make sure that the shape of the faces of the solid matches the shape of the polygonal regions in the net
  • visualize how the net can be folded to form the solid'
• what solid figure will we form if we fold these ?

  a triangle and a cylinder

  
• what solid figure will we form if we fold this?

  A cube
