Let’s think through this step by step.
This is a paper craft template — it’s meant to be cut out, folded, and glued together to make a 3D house. The tabs (labeled Tab A, Tab B, Tab C, Tab D) are the parts you fold and glue to hold the shape together.
To assemble it correctly:
1.
Cut along the outer solid lines — that means cutting around the whole shape, including the tabs.
2.
Fold along all the dashed lines — these are where the paper bends to form walls, roof, etc.
3.
Glue the tabs to the matching edges:
-
Tab A (on the right side of the left roof triangle) should be glued to the inside edge of the right roof triangle — so the two roof pieces meet at the top.
-
Tab B (on the far right end of the base) should be glued to the inside of the leftmost wall section — this closes the loop of the house’s base.
-
Tab C and
Tab D are on the bottom — they’re probably for attaching the house to a base or ground piece, but since there’s no separate base shown, they might just be folded under to help the house stand up straight.
So, the key idea:
→ Cut out the whole thing.
→ Fold every dashed line.
→ Glue each tab to the surface it touches when folded into 3D.
You don’t need math here — it’s about spatial thinking and following assembly instructions.
Final Answer:
Cut along the outer solid lines, fold along all dashed lines, and glue each labeled tab (A, B, C, D) to the corresponding inner surface to form a 3D house.
