Question

HELP ASAP!!! What is a net? What can we use a net for? How can a net be used to find surface area?

Answer 1

Is a flattened out three dimensional solid (a three dimensional shape) -- like a cube, a prism or a pyramid. When you cut out the "net", fold it and glue it together you can see what the three dimensional shape looks like.

Answer 2

For example, if the length of one side of the cube 4 units then the area of one its face is 4 × 4 = 16 square units. From the net, we can see that there are six equal faces and so we get the total surface area is 6 × 16 = 96 square units. Example 1: Find the surface area of the given rectangular prism in square cm.
