Understanding 3D Shapes and Nets

What is a net in the context of 3D shapes?

• A type of geometric formula

• A 2D representation of a 3D shape

• A tool to measure angles

• A 3D model of a shape

What does the term 'net' specifically refer to in geometry?

• A method for calculating volume

• A 2D layout that forms a 3D shape when folded

• A type of measurement tool

• A graphing technique

How can a net of a rectangular prism be described?

• A single flat piece

• Multiple connected pieces that can be folded

• A circular layout

• A set of unconnected parts

What variations might exist for the net of a rectangular prism?

• Only one fixed layout

• Multiple layouts depending on the shape

• Always four sides

• Always consists of triangles

What does the net of a rectangular prism look like?

• Interconnected triangles

• A single large rectangle

• A layout of rectangles and squares

• A series of connected circles

Is it possible to have different nets for the same 3D shape?

• Only for flat shapes

• No, each shape has only one net

• Yes, depending on the shape

• Only for circular shapes

How does the net of a square pyramid fold?

• Into a flat square

• Into a circular shape

• Into a 3D square pyramid

• It does not fold

Can the net of a square pyramid be laid out in different ways?

• It always forms a triangle

• Yes, there are multiple possibilities

• No, there is only one way

• It can only be laid out in a circle

What is the final shape formed by folding the net of a square pyramid?

• A rectangle

• A square pyramid

• A sphere

• A cube

What is the shape resulting from folding the net of a triangular prism?

• A circle

• A square

• A rectangular prism

• A triangular prism
