1. Nets of Solids

2. Nets of Solids
A net is a 2-D pattern that can be folded into a solid. The diagram below shows how a cube is formed from a net.
In fact, there can be more than one net for a solid.

3. For example, the following two nets can also be folded into the cube on the previous page.

4. The following shows a net of a regular tetrahedron.B C D E F A B C D E F F D
C, A, E B
When the net is folded into a solid, point A will coincide with point C and point E.

5. Follow-up question
When the net in the figure is folded into a solid, which point(s) will coincide with each of the following points? A B C D E F B E
D, F
C, A A B C D E F
(a) Point A
(b) Point D
(c) Point E
point C
point F
no points
