Constructing the Nets of Solids

Solids are three-dimensional geometric shapes. It is possible to represent them in two dimensions using a net which has each of the faces that make up the solid. Each solid has its own net.

In other words, it is as if the solid has been broken up to see what each of its faces looks like and how they are linked together.

Note: There isn’t just one way to construct the net of a solid. For example, a cube can be decomposed in several different ways. What is important is that once assembled, the net forms the desired solid.
