Sketch a figure from a net

The video tutorial explains how to determine if a 2D net can form a 3D shape, focusing on creating a triangular prism. The instructor discusses the limitations of nets with five sides, ruling out shapes like rectangular prisms, and emphasizes the use of triangular shapes. The process of labeling and folding the net to form a triangular prism is detailed, with a focus on understanding the geometric properties and visualization of the final shape.
