Let’s go through each net one by one and figure out what 3D shape it makes when folded.
---
Top Left Net:
- It has a rectangle in the middle, with a circle on top and a circle on bottom.
- When you fold this, the circles become the top and bottom, and the rectangle wraps around to form the side.
- That’s a
cylinder.
✔ Answer: Cylinder
---
Top Right Net:
- This is a cross made of 6 squares (like a plus sign with an extra square on each arm).
- When folded, each square becomes a face of a cube.
- This is the classic net for a
cube.
✔ Answer: Cube
---
Middle Left Net:
- It looks like a star with 4 triangles pointing outward from a central square.
- The dashed lines show where to fold — folding up the 4 triangles will meet at a point above the square base.
- That makes a
square pyramid.
✔ Answer: Square Pyramid
---
Middle Right Net:
- There’s a circle and a sector (a “pie slice” shape) attached to it.
- When you roll the sector into a cone, the circle becomes the base.
- So this forms a
cone.
✔ Answer: Cone
---
Bottom Left Net:
- It’s made of rectangles arranged so that when folded, they form a box with 6 rectangular faces.
- All angles are right angles, and opposite faces are equal.
- This is a
rectangular prism (also called a cuboid).
✔ Answer: Rectangular Prism
---
Bottom Right Net:
- It has two triangles at the ends and three rectangles connecting them.
- Folding the rectangles up and attaching the triangles on the ends makes a prism with triangular bases.
- That’s a
triangular prism.
✔ Answer: Triangular Prism
---
Final Answer:
1. Cylinder
2. Cube
3. Square Pyramid
4. Cone
5. Rectangular Prism
6. Triangular Prism
