A net is a pattern made when the surface of a 3-D figure is laid out flat, showing each face of the figure. A solid may have different nets.
Practice makes perfect
Let's consider the given 3-D figure.
A net is a pattern made when the surface of a 3-D figure is laid out flat showing each face of the figure. A solid may have different nets. Let's draw a net for the given figure.
As we can see, the net of a cylinder is made from two circles and a rectangle. The length of this rectangle is the circumference of the circles. We are given that the radius of the circles is 4cm.
