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. In the given figure, we can see that the cylinder has a radius of 4 cm. Therefore, the length of the lateral face is the same as the circumference of the circle, which is given by: C=2Ď€ r Let's substitute 4 for r in the above equation to find the length of the lateral face.
C=2Ď€ r
C=2Ď€( 4)
C=2(4)Ď€
C=8Ď€
Therefore, the length of the lateral face is 8Ď€ centimeters. With this information, we can draw the net.
