Jamal is breaking down items for recycling and wonders what this box will look like when it is unfolded and flat. How can you use the grid to represent the unfolded box?

• By drawing a net of the box on the grid

• By sketching a 3D model of the box

• By listing the materials of the box

• By calculating the volume of the box
