Surface area | PDF - Free Printable

Let’s solve each net one by one. A “net” is a flat shape that can be folded into a 3D object. To find the surface area, we just add up the areas of all the flat shapes in the net.

We’ll go from top to bottom, left to right.

First Net (Top Left): Triangular Pyramid (Tetrahedron)

This net has 4 triangles:
- One big triangle at the top (base)
- Three smaller triangles around it (sides)

But wait — looking closely, it’s actually made of four identical equilateral triangles? No — let’s check the labels.

Actually, the diagram shows:
- The base triangle has a base of 9 cm and height of 12 cm? Wait — no, the 12 cm is labeled on one of the side triangles.

Wait — let me re-express:

Looking again: There’s a large outer triangle divided into 4 smaller triangles. But the label says “9cm” for the base of the whole thing, and “12cm” as the height of one small triangle inside.

Actually, this looks like a triangular pyramid with:
- Base: triangle with base 9 cm and height ? Not given directly.
Wait — perhaps all four faces are triangles, and we’re told the dimensions of some.

Actually, looking more carefully: The net consists of one central triangle, and three surrounding triangles attached to its sides.

The central triangle has base 9 cm. The height of one of the side triangles is labeled 12 cm — but which one?

Wait — maybe it's better to assume that the three side triangles are congruent, and each has base 9 cm and height 12 cm? That doesn’t make sense because then the total would be too big.

Alternatively — perhaps the entire figure is composed of 4 triangles, each with base 9 cm and height 12 cm? But that would mean they’re all the same.

Wait — let’s read the diagram again.

Actually, I think there’s a misinterpretation. Let me try a different approach.

In many such problems, when you see a triangle divided into 4 smaller ones like that, it often means the big triangle is split into 4 equal smaller triangles — but here, the labeling suggests otherwise.

Wait — look: The vertical line labeled “12cm” goes from the apex of one small triangle down to its base. And the base of that small triangle is part of the 9cm base.

Actually, if the whole base is 9cm, and it’s divided into 3 equal parts (since there are 3 small triangles along the base), then each small triangle has base = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 cm.

And the height of each small triangle is 12 cm? That seems very tall compared to base 3 cm — possible, but let’s check.

Wait — no, the 12 cm is drawn as the height of the middle small triangle, from its top vertex down to its base. If the base of that small triangle is 3 cm, then area of one small triangle = (1/2) × 3 × 12 = 18 cm².

There are 4 such triangles? Actually, in the diagram, there are 4 small triangles: one pointing up in the center, and three pointing outward? Or is it one big triangle divided into 4?

Actually, standard tetrahedron net: 4 triangles. In this case, likely all 4 are congruent? But the labels don't suggest that.

Wait — perhaps the 9 cm is the base of the entire large triangle, and the 12 cm is the height of the entire large triangle? But then why is it labeled on a small triangle?

I think I need to reinterpret.

Alternative interpretation: This is a triangular pyramid where the base is an equilateral triangle with side 9 cm, and the three lateral faces are isosceles triangles with base 9 cm and slant height 12 cm? But 12 cm is labeled as height, not slant height.

Wait — let’s look at the second net for comparison.

Perhaps for the first net, it’s simpler: The net consists of 4 triangles. Each triangle has base 9 cm and height 12 cm? But that would make them all the same, and area per triangle = 0.5 * 9 * 12 = 54 cm², times 4 = 216 cm². But that seems too straightforward, and probably wrong because the diagram shows internal lines.

Another idea: The large triangle is divided into 4 smaller congruent triangles. So if the whole base is 9 cm, each small triangle has base 4.5 cm? No, that doesn't divide evenly.

Wait — if you connect midpoints, you get 4 small triangles, each similar, with half the side length. So if big triangle base is 9 cm, small ones have base 4.5 cm. But then height of big triangle would be needed.

The label "12cm" is on a small triangle — so perhaps each small triangle has height 12 cm? Then area of one small triangle = 0.5 * base * height. What is the base of the small triangle?

If the big triangle is divided into 4 small ones by connecting midpoints, then each small triangle has base = half of big base = 4.5 cm, and height = half of big height? But we don't know big height.

This is confusing. Let me skip and come back.

Perhaps the 9 cm is the base of each of the three side triangles, and the 12 cm is their height. And the base triangle is also 9 cm base, but what height? Not given.

Wait — in a regular tetrahedron, all faces are equilateral, but here heights are given, so not regular.

Let’s assume that the net has:
- One base triangle with base 9 cm and height h (unknown)
- Three lateral triangles, each with base 9 cm and height 12 cm

But then we don't know the height of the base triangle.

Unless the base triangle is also with height 12 cm? But that would make it the same as lateral faces.

Perhaps all four triangles are identical: each with base 9 cm and height 12 cm.

Then area of one triangle = (1/2) * 9 * 12 = 54 cm²

Total surface area = 4 * 54 = 216 cm²

I think that's the intended interpretation, even though the diagram might be misleading. Because otherwise, we don't have enough information.

So I'll go with that for now.

First Net Surface Area = 216 cm²

Second Net (Top Right): Rectangular Prism with Two Triangular Ends

This looks like a prism with rectangular sides and triangular bases.

From the diagram:
- The two end triangles: each has base 8 cm and height 7 cm? Wait, labeled "7cm" on the triangle, and "8cm" on the rectangle adjacent.

Actually, the triangles are attached to the rectangles. The dimension "7cm" is the height of the triangle, and "8cm" is the base of the triangle? Or vice versa?

Look: The triangle has a label "7cm" on its height (from apex to base), and the base of the triangle is the same as the width of the rectangle, which is 8 cm? But the rectangle has height 8 cm and length 14 cm.

Let's list the faces:

There are:
- Two triangular faces: each with base 8 cm and height 7 cm? The label "7cm" is on the triangle, and it's perpendicular to the base, so yes, height = 7 cm, base = 8 cm (since it matches the rectangle's width).

Area of one triangle = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 8 * 7 = 28 cm²

Two triangles: 2 * 28 = 56 cm²

Now, the rectangular faces:
There are three rectangles shown, but in a prism, there should be three rectangular faces if it's a triangular prism.

In the net, we see:
- One rectangle in the middle: 14 cm by 8 cm
- One above it: 8 cm by ? The height is labeled 8 cm, but what is the length? It should be the same as the other rectangles' lengths? No.

Actually, in a triangular prism net, typically there are three rectangles connected in a row, and two triangles on the ends.

Here, the net shows:
- A central rectangle: 14 cm long, 8 cm high
- Above it, another rectangle: 8 cm high, but how long? The diagram shows it aligned, so probably also 14 cm long? But it's not labeled.

Wait, the dimension "8cm" is labeled on the side of the top rectangle, meaning its height is 8 cm, and since it's attached to the central rectangle which is 14 cm long, likely this top rectangle is also 14 cm long.

Similarly, below the central rectangle, there is another rectangle, also 8 cm high and 14 cm long.

But that would be three rectangles, each 14 cm by 8 cm.

Is that correct? For a triangular prism, the three rectangular faces correspond to the three sides of the triangular base.

The triangular base has sides: we have base 8 cm, and the other two sides? We don't know, but in the net, the rectangles are all the same size? That would imply the triangular base is equilateral, but with base 8 cm and height 7 cm, it's not equilateral.

Height 7 cm for base 8 cm means the other two sides are longer.

But in the net, the rectangles are all shown with height 8 cm and length 14 cm? That doesn't match.

Perhaps the "8cm" labeled on the rectangles is the width, and the length is different.

Let's read the labels carefully.

In the top right net:
- The central rectangle has dimensions: length 14 cm, height 8 cm (labeled on the side)
- The rectangle above it: has height labeled 8 cm, and since it's attached to the central rectangle, its length should be the same as the side of the triangle it's attached to.

Actually, for a triangular prism, the three rectangular faces have widths equal to the sides of the triangular base, and length equal to the length of the prism.

Here, the length of the prism is given as 14 cm (the long dimension of the central rectangle).

The triangular base has:
- One side: 8 cm (the base)
- The other two sides: we need to calculate or are given?

The height of the triangle is 7 cm, base 8 cm, so the other two sides can be found using Pythagoras, but only if it's isosceles.

Assuming the triangle is isosceles with base 8 cm and height 7 cm, then each equal side is sqrt((4)^2 + (7)^2) = sqrt(16+49) = sqrt(65) ≈ 8.06 cm, but that's not nice, and probably not intended.

Perhaps the "8cm" labeled on the rectangles is not the height, but the width corresponding to the triangle's side.

Let's look at the labels again.

In the diagram, for the top right net:
- On the left triangle, "7cm" is labeled as the height (perpendicular from apex to base)
- The base of the triangle is the same as the width of the adjacent rectangle, which is labeled "8cm" on the rectangle's side? No, the "8cm" is labeled on the vertical side of the rectangle, which is the height of the rectangle.

Perhaps the rectangle's dimensions are: for the central rectangle, it's 14 cm (length) by 8 cm (height). The height 8 cm corresponds to the side of the triangle it's attached to.

For a triangular prism, each rectangular face has one dimension equal to the length of the prism (14 cm), and the other dimension equal to the length of the corresponding side of the triangular base.

So, the triangular base has three sides: let's call them a, b, c.

From the net, we see that one side of the triangle is 8 cm (the base), and the height to that base is 7 cm.

The other two sides are not given, but in the net, the rectangles attached to those sides should have widths equal to those side lengths.

However, in the diagram, the rectangles above and below the central one are both labeled with "8cm" on their height, which suggests that all three rectangular faces have the same width 8 cm, which would mean the triangular base is equilateral with side 8 cm, but then the height should be (√3/2)*8 ≈ 6.928 cm, close to 7 cm, so perhaps it's approximate, or intended to be exact.

Maybe the "7cm" is not the height, but something else.

Another possibility: the "7cm" is the length of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle.

Let's check the label: in the triangle, "7cm" is written along the side from apex to base corner, so it might be the length of the leg, not the height.

That makes more sense! In many diagrams, when they label a side of the triangle, it's the side length.

So, for the triangular face: it is isosceles with two sides of 7 cm each, and base 8 cm.

Then, the height can be calculated, but for surface area, we don't need the height of the triangle for the rectangular faces; we need the side lengths for the rectangles.

For the triangular prism:
- Two triangular bases: each with sides 7 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm
- Three rectangular faces: each with length 14 cm (prism length), and width equal to the side of the triangle: so one rectangle 14x8, and two rectangles 14x7

Yes, that makes sense with the diagram.

In the net, the central rectangle is attached to the base of the triangle, so its width is 8 cm, height 14 cm? No, in the diagram, the central rectangle has "14cm" as length (horizontal), and "8cm" as height (vertical), but if it's attached to the base of the triangle, then the 8 cm should be the width corresponding to the triangle's base.

Typically in nets, the dimension along the attachment is the common side.

So, for the central rectangle: it is 14 cm long (along the prism) and 8 cm wide (corresponding to the base of the triangle).

Then, the rectangle above it is attached to one leg of the triangle, so its width should be 7 cm, and length 14 cm. But in the diagram, it's labeled "8cm" on its height, which is confusing.

Perhaps the "8cm" labeled on the top rectangle is a mistake, or it's the length.

Let's read the labels as per the diagram:

- For the top rectangle: it has a vertical label "8cm" on its right side, which likely means its height is 8 cm. But if it's attached to the triangle's leg, and the leg is 7 cm, then it should be 7 cm.

Unless the "7cm" is the height, not the side.

I think there's ambiguity, but let's assume that the "7cm" is the height of the triangle, and "8cm" is the base, and for the rectangles, the dimensions are given.

In the net, the three rectangles are:
- Top: 8 cm by ? The length is not labeled, but since it's attached to the central rectangle which is 14 cm long, and assuming the net is drawn with consistent orientation, the top rectangle is also 14 cm long, and 8 cm high? But then why is the triangle's height 7 cm?

Perhaps the "8cm" on the rectangles is the length of the prism, and the other dimension is the side of the triangle.

Let's look at the bottom rectangle: it has "8cm" labeled on its height, and "14cm" on its length? No, "14cm" is labeled on the bottom of the central rectangle, so likely the length of all rectangles is 14 cm.

Then, the width of each rectangle is the side of the triangle it's attached to.

For the central rectangle, attached to the base of the triangle, so width = 8 cm.

For the top rectangle, attached to one leg, so width = ? If the triangle has legs of length L, then width = L.

But we have the height of the triangle as 7 cm, base 8 cm, so if isosceles, leg = sqrt(4^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(16+49) = sqrt(65) ≈ 8.06 cm, not nice.

Perhaps the "7cm" is the length of the leg.

Let me assume that. In many problems, they label the sides.

So, triangular face: isosceles with two sides 7 cm, base 8 cm.

Then, area of one triangle = (1/2) * base * height, but we need height. Height h = sqrt(7^2 - 4^2) = sqrt(49-16) = sqrt(33) ≈ 5.744 cm, still not nice.

Perhaps it's not isosceles, but the "7cm" is the height.

Another idea: in the net, the "7cm" is labeled on the triangle as the distance from the apex to the base, so height = 7 cm, base = 8 cm, so area = (1/2)*8*7 = 28 cm² per triangle.

For the rectangles, the central one is 14 cm by 8 cm (since attached to base).

The top and bottom rectangles: in the diagram, they are shown with the same height as the central one, 8 cm, but that can't be if they are attached to the other sides.

Unless the other sides are also 8 cm, but then it would be equilateral, and height should be (√3/2)*8 = 4√3 ≈ 6.928, close to 7, so perhaps it's intended to be equilateral with side 8 cm, and height approximately 7 cm, but for calculation, we use the given numbers.

Perhaps for the rectangles, the dimension "8cm" is the width for all, but that doesn't make sense.

Let's count the faces in the net:

- Two triangles: each with base 8 cm, height 7 cm → area 28 cm² each, total 56 cm² for both.

- Three rectangles:
- Central: 14 cm x 8 cm = 112 cm²
- Top: ? The diagram shows it as having height 8 cm, and since it's attached to the central rectangle, and the central rectangle is 14 cm long, likely the top rectangle is also 14 cm long, and its width is the same as the side of the triangle it's attached to. But if the triangle has sides 8 cm, 7 cm, 7 cm, then the top rectangle should be 14 cm x 7 cm.

But in the diagram, the top rectangle has "8cm" labeled on its side, which might be a mislabel, or perhaps it's 8 cm for the length.

I think there's a better way: in the net, the dimension "8cm" is labeled on the vertical side of the top rectangle, and "14cm" on the horizontal of the central, so perhaps for the top rectangle, the 8 cm is its length, and the width is not labeled, but must be the side of the triangle.

This is messy.

Let's look at the third net for clue.

Perhaps for this net, the three rectangles are all 14 cm by 8 cm, and the triangles are additional.

But then the surface area would be 3* (14*8) + 2* (0.5*8*7) = 3*112 + 2*28 = 336 + 56 = 392 cm².

And the "7cm" is only for the triangle's height, not related to the rectangle's width.

In that case, the rectangles are all the same size, which implies the triangular base is equilateral, and the 7 cm is approximate, but for calculation, we use the given numbers as is.

So I'll go with that.

So for second net:
- Two triangles: each area = (1/2) * 8 * 7 = 28 cm², total 56 cm²
- Three rectangles: each 14 cm * 8 cm = 112 cm², total 336 cm²
- Total surface area = 56 + 336 = 392 cm²

Second Net Surface Area = 392 cm²

Third Net (Middle Left): Another Prism or Box

This net has:
- A central rectangle: 21 cm by 16 cm? Labels: "21cm" on top, "16cm" on left side.
- Below it, a rectangle: 12 cm by ? "12cm" on right side, and "11cm" on bottom? Let's see.

Actually, the net shows:
- Top rectangle: 21 cm wide, 16 cm high
- Middle rectangle: attached below, 12 cm high, and width? It should be the same as the top if it's a box, but 21 cm vs what?
- Bottom rectangle: 11 cm high, and width? Also, there are two triangles on the sides.

Specifically:
- Left and right, there are triangles attached to the middle rectangle.

Labels:
- On the middle rectangle: "12cm" on the right side, so height 12 cm
- On the bottom rectangle: "11cm" on the left side, so height 11 cm
- On the top rectangle: "21cm" on top, "16cm" on left, so 21 cm wide, 16 cm high
- The triangles: each has base 18 cm? "18cm" labeled on the base of the right triangle.

Also, the middle rectangle has width: since the top rectangle is 21 cm wide, and it's attached, likely the middle rectangle is also 21 cm wide, but then the triangles are attached to its sides, with base 18 cm, which is less than 21, so perhaps not.

Perhaps the "21cm" is the length, and "16cm" is the height for the top rectangle.

Then the middle rectangle is attached below, with height 12 cm, and width same as top, 21 cm.

Then the bottom rectangle is attached below that, with height 11 cm, width 21 cm.

Then on the left and right of the middle rectangle, there are triangles, each with base 18 cm? But 18 cm is labeled on the base of the triangle, which is attached to the side of the middle rectangle, so if the middle rectangle is 21 cm wide, but the triangle's base is 18 cm, that doesn't match unless it's centered or something.

Perhaps the "18cm" is the length of the triangle's base, and it's attached to the 12 cm side? No.

Let's think of what 3D shape this is. Likely a triangular prism or a house-shaped prism.

Commonly, this net is for a prism with a trapezoidal or triangular cross-section, but here there are triangles on the sides.

Another possibility: it's a rectangular box with two triangular prisms on the sides, but that might be complicated.

Perhaps it's a pentagonal prism or something.

Let's list the faces:

From the net:
- Rectangle 1: 21 cm x 16 cm (top)
- Rectangle 2: 21 cm x 12 cm (middle) — assuming width is 21 cm
- Rectangle 3: 21 cm x 11 cm (bottom)
- Triangle 1: base 18 cm, height? Not given, but perhaps the height is the same as the rectangle's height or something.
- Triangle 2: same as triangle 1

But the triangles are attached to the sides of the middle rectangle, so their base should match the side of the rectangle. If the middle rectangle is 21 cm wide, but the triangle's base is 18 cm, that doesn't match.

Unless the "18cm" is not the base, but the height or something.

Label: "18cm" is written on the base of the right triangle, so likely the base is 18 cm.

Perhaps the middle rectangle's width is 18 cm, not 21 cm.

Let's check the alignment.

In the net, the top rectangle is 21 cm wide, and it's attached to the middle rectangle. If the middle rectangle is narrower, say 18 cm wide, then the top rectangle overhangs, which is possible in nets.

Similarly, the bottom rectangle might be 18 cm wide or 21 cm.

The bottom rectangle has "11cm" on its height, and no width labeled, but likely same as middle or top.

Assume that the middle rectangle has width 18 cm, since the triangles are attached to its sides with base 18 cm.

Then, the top rectangle is 21 cm wide, so it extends beyond the middle rectangle by (21-18)/2 = 1.5 cm on each side, which is fine for a net.

Similarly, the bottom rectangle: "11cm" height, and probably width 18 cm or 21 cm. Since it's attached to the middle, likely 18 cm wide.

But in the diagram, the bottom rectangle is shown with the same width as the middle, I think.

So let's assume:
- Top rectangle: 21 cm x 16 cm
- Middle rectangle: 18 cm x 12 cm (width 18 cm, height 12 cm)
- Bottom rectangle: 18 cm x 11 cm (assuming width 18 cm)
- Two triangles: each with base 18 cm, and height? Not given.

What is the height of the triangles? In the diagram, no height is labeled for the triangles. Only "18cm" on the base.

For the triangles to be part of the net, their height must be such that when folded, they form the ends.

Perhaps the height of the triangles is the same as the difference in widths or something, but that doesn't make sense.

Another idea: the "16cm", "12cm", "11cm" are not heights, but lengths along the prism.

Perhaps this is a net for a prism where the cross-section is a trapezoid or something.

Let's calculate the areas with what we have.

Perhaps the triangles are right-angled or something, but no information.

Look at the labels again: on the middle rectangle, "12cm" is on the right side, which is likely its height. On the bottom rectangle, "11cm" on the left side, its height. On the top, "16cm" on left, its height.

For the triangles, only "18cm" on the base.

Perhaps the height of the triangles is not needed because they are attached, but for surface area, we need their area.

Unless the "18cm" is the only dimension, but that can't be.

Another thought: in some nets, the triangle's height is given by the context. Here, perhaps the height of the triangle is the same as the height of the adjacent rectangle, but that doesn't make sense.

Perhaps the "12cm" is the height of the triangle, but it's labeled on the rectangle.

I think there's a mistake in my reasoning.

Let's consider that the net is for a triangular prism with a rectangular extension, but that might be complicated.

Perhaps the two triangles are the ends, and the rectangles are the sides, but there are three rectangles, so not.

Let's count the faces: there are 5 faces shown: three rectangles and two triangles, so likely a pentahedron, like a triangular prism has 5 faces: 2 triangles and 3 rectangles.

Yes! A triangular prism has 5 faces: 2 triangular bases and 3 rectangular lateral faces.

In this net, we have:
- Two triangles: the ones on the sides
- Three rectangles: top, middle, bottom

But in a standard triangular prism net, the three rectangles are in a row, and the triangles on the ends of the middle rectangle.

Here, the net has the three rectangles stacked vertically, and the triangles on the left and right of the middle rectangle.

So, the three rectangles are the lateral faces, and the two triangles are the bases.

For a triangular prism, the three rectangular faces have widths equal to the sides of the triangular base, and length equal to the length of the prism.

Here, the "length" of the prism is the dimension along which the rectangles are stacked, but in this case, the rectangles are stacked vertically, so the length of the prism is the height of the stack or something.

Let's define.

In this net, the three rectangles are arranged vertically:
- Top rectangle: width W1, height H1 = 16 cm
- Middle rectangle: width W2, height H2 = 12 cm
- Bottom rectangle: width W3, height H3 = 11 cm

But for a prism, all three rectangles should have the same length (the length of the prism), and widths equal to the sides of the triangular base.

So, the "height" of each rectangle in the net is actually the length of the prism, and the "width" is the side of the triangle.

In the diagram, for the top rectangle, "21cm" is labeled on the top, which is likely its width, and "16cm" on the left, its height.

Similarly, for the middle rectangle, "12cm" on the right, its height, and no width labeled, but since the triangles are attached to its sides with base 18 cm, likely its width is 18 cm.

For the bottom rectangle, "11cm" on the left, its height, and width probably 18 cm or 21 cm.

Assume that the width of the middle rectangle is 18 cm, as per the triangle's base.

Then, the top rectangle has width 21 cm, which is different, so perhaps the length of the prism is not constant, but that doesn't make sense for a prism.

Perhaps the "21cm", "12cm", "11cm" are the lengths of the prism for each face, but that would be unusual.

Another idea: the net is for a different shape, like a pyramid or something, but unlikely.

Perhaps the three rectangles are not all lateral; maybe it's a box with a roof.

Let's calculate the areas with the given numbers, and assume that for the triangles, the height is not given, but perhaps it's implied.

Notice that in the middle rectangle, height 12 cm, and the triangles are attached to its sides, so when folded, the height of the triangle might be related, but for surface area, we need the area of the triangle, which requires base and height.

Unless the "18cm" is the only dimension, but that can't be.

Perhaps the "18cm" is the length of the equal sides, but then we need the base.

I think I found a better way: in the net, the dimension "18cm" is labeled on the base of the triangle, and for the triangle, since it's attached to the middle rectangle, and the middle rectangle has height 12 cm, perhaps the height of the triangle is 12 cm, but that doesn't make sense because the triangle's height is perpendicular to its base.

Perhaps the triangle is right-angled with legs 18 cm and something, but not specified.

Let's look at the fourth net for comparison.

Perhaps for this net, the two triangles are identical, and their area can be calculated if we know the height, but it's not given.

Another thought: in the diagram, the "12cm" on the middle rectangle might be the height of the triangle, but it's labeled on the rectangle.

I recall that in some nets, the height of the triangle is given by the context of the fold, but for surface area, we need the actual area.

Perhaps the "18cm" is the base, and the height is the same as the adjacent rectangle's height, but which one?

Let's assume that the height of each triangle is 12 cm, since it's attached to the 12 cm high rectangle.

Then area of one triangle = (1/2) * 18 * 12 = 108 cm²

Two triangles: 216 cm²

Then the rectangles:
- Top: 21 cm * 16 cm = 336 cm²
- Middle: ? Width? If the triangle's base is 18 cm, and it's attached to the middle rectangle, then the middle rectangle's width is 18 cm, height 12 cm, so area = 18 * 12 = 216 cm²
- Bottom: 18 cm * 11 cm = 198 cm² (assuming width 18 cm)

Then total surface area = 336 + 216 + 198 + 216 = let's calculate: 336+216=552, +198=750, +216=966 cm²

But is the bottom rectangle width 18 cm? In the diagram, it might be the same as middle.

Perhaps the top rectangle width is 21 cm, but when folded, it's ok.

So I'll go with that.

Third Net Surface Area = 966 cm²

Fourth Net (Bottom): Another Prism

This net has:
- A long rectangle on the left: 18 cm by ? "18cm" labeled on top, so length 18 cm, height not labeled, but probably the same as the adjacent parts.
- Then a triangle attached to its right: with "16cm" on one side, "7cm" on another.
- Then a rectangle on the right: 7 cm by 10 cm? "7cm" on top, "10cm" on right side.
- And another triangle below.

Specifically:
- Left rectangle: 18 cm long, and height? Not labeled, but likely the same as the triangle's height or something.
- Attached to its right is a triangle: with sides labeled "16cm" and "7cm". "16cm" is on the hypotenuse or leg? "7cm" on the vertical side.
- Then to the right of that, a rectangle: 7 cm wide (since "7cm" on top), and 10 cm high ("10cm" on right side).
- Below the first triangle, another triangle, symmetric.

So, likely, this is a net for a triangular prism or a wedge.

The two triangles are probably the ends, and the rectangles are the sides.

The left rectangle is 18 cm by H, but H not given.

From the triangle: it has a vertical side of 7 cm, and a hypotenuse or other side of 16 cm.

If it's a right-angled triangle, with legs 7 cm and B, hypotenuse 16 cm, then B = sqrt(16^2 - 7^2) = sqrt(256 - 49) = sqrt(207) = 3sqrt(23) ≈ 14.387 cm, not nice.

Perhaps the "16cm" is the base, "7cm" is the height.

In the diagram, "16cm" is labeled on the side from the top vertex to the right vertex, and "7cm" on the vertical side from top to bottom.

So, if it's a right-angled triangle at the bottom-left, then legs are 7 cm (vertical) and X cm (horizontal), and hypotenuse 16 cm.

Then X = sqrt(16^2 - 7^2) = sqrt(256-49) = sqrt(207) , same as above.

Perhaps it's not right-angled.

Another possibility: the "7cm" is the height of the triangle, and "16cm" is the base.

Then area = (1/2)*16*7 = 56 cm² per triangle.

Then for the rectangles:
- Left rectangle: 18 cm by ? What is its height? When folded, it should match the side of the triangle.

If the triangle has base 16 cm, height 7 cm, then the other sides are sqrt(8^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(64+49) = sqrt(113) if isosceles, but not specified.

In the net, the left rectangle is attached to the left side of the triangle, so its height should be the length of that side.

But not given.

Perhaps the "18cm" is the length of the prism, and the height of the rectangle is the side of the triangle.

For the left rectangle, it is 18 cm long, and its width is the length of the left side of the triangle.

Similarly, the right rectangle is 7 cm by 10 cm, but "7cm" on top, "10cm" on right, so if it's attached to the right side of the triangle, its width should be the length of the right side of the triangle.

But the right side of the triangle is labeled "16cm"? In the diagram, "16cm" is on the side from top to right, so if that's the side, then the right rectangle should have width 16 cm, but it's labeled "7cm" on top, which is conflicting.

Unless the "7cm" on the right rectangle is its length, not width.

Let's assume that for the right rectangle, "7cm" is its length (along the prism), and "10cm" is its width (corresponding to the side of the triangle).

But then for the left rectangle, "18cm" is its length, so different lengths, which is odd for a prism.

Perhaps the "18cm" is the width, and the length is the same as others.

I think the most reasonable assumption is that the two triangles are identical, each with base 16 cm and height 7 cm, so area 56 cm² each, total 112 cm² for both.

Then the rectangles:
- Left rectangle: 18 cm by ? If it's attached to the left side of the triangle, and if the triangle is isosceles with base 16 cm, height 7 cm, then each leg is sqrt(8^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(64+49) = sqrt(113) ≈ 10.63 cm, not nice.

Perhaps the "7cm" is the length of the leg, and "16cm" is the base.

Then for the triangle, base 16 cm, legs 7 cm each, but then height h = sqrt(7^2 - 8^2) = sqrt(49-64) = sqrt(-15) impossible.

So not possible.

Another idea: the "7cm" is the height, "16cm" is the base, and the left rectangle has height equal to the leg, but not given.

Perhaps in the net, the left rectangle's height is the same as the triangle's height, 7 cm, but then why is it 18 cm long.

Let's look at the right rectangle: it is 7 cm by 10 cm. "7cm" on top, "10cm" on right, so if it's a rectangle, area 7*10 = 70 cm².

It is attached to the right side of the triangle, so its width 7 cm or 10 cm should match the side of the triangle.

If the triangle has a side of 7 cm, then perhaps the "7cm" on the triangle is the length of that side.

In the triangle, "7cm" is labeled on the vertical side, so perhaps that side is 7 cm long.

"16cm" on the斜边 or other side.

Assume the triangle has sides: vertical side 7 cm, horizontal side B cm, and hypotenuse 16 cm.

Then B = sqrt(16^2 - 7^2) = sqrt(256-49) = sqrt(207) = 3sqrt(23) , as before.

Then area = (1/2)*7*B = (1/2)*7* sqrt(207) , messy.

Perhaps the "16cm" is the base, "7cm" is the height, and the left rectangle has height equal to the leg, but for surface area, we can calculate if we assume the left rectangle's height is given by the context.

Notice that the left rectangle is 18 cm long, and when folded, it might be the length of the prism, and its width is the side of the triangle.

But for the right rectangle, it is 7 cm by 10 cm, so perhaps its dimensions are 7 cm (width) and 10 cm (length), but then the length should be the same as the left rectangle's length, 18 cm, contradiction.

Unless the "18cm" is not the length.

Let's read the label: "18cm" is on the top of the left rectangle, so likely its length is 18 cm.

For the right rectangle, "7cm" on top, so its length is 7 cm, "10cm" on right, so its height is 10 cm.

Then for the triangle, it is attached between them, so the side attached to the left rectangle should be 18 cm? But the triangle's side is labeled "16cm" or "7cm".

This is inconsistent.

Perhaps the "18cm" is the width of the left rectangle, and the length is the same as the triangle's side.

I think I need to assume that the two triangles are the ends, and the three rectangles are the sides, but there are only two rectangles shown besides the left one.

In the net, there is:
- Left rectangle: 18 cm by H1
- Triangle 1: attached to its right
- Right rectangle: 7 cm by 10 cm, attached to the right of the triangle
- Triangle 2: attached below the first triangle

So perhaps it's not a prism, but a different shape.

Maybe it's a net for a pyramid or something else.

Another idea: the left rectangle is 18 cm by 10 cm or something, but not labeled.

Perhaps the height of the left rectangle is 10 cm, same as the right rectangle's height.

Assume that the left rectangle is 18 cm by 10 cm.

Then area = 18*10 = 180 cm²

Right rectangle: 7 cm by 10 cm = 70 cm²

Then the two triangles: each with base? If attached, perhaps base 18 cm for the left triangle, but not.

From the triangle labels: "16cm" and "7cm", and if it's a right-angled triangle with legs 7 cm and 16 cm, then area = (1/2)*7*16 = 56 cm² per triangle.

Then total surface area = left rect + right rect + two triangles = 180 + 70 + 2*56 = 180+70=250, +112=362 cm²

And the "18cm" is the length, "10cm" is the height for left rectangle, "7cm" and "10cm" for right rectangle, and for triangles, legs 7 cm and 16 cm.

In the diagram, "7cm" is on the vertical side of the triangle, "16cm" on the horizontal or斜边, but if we assume it's right-angled at the corner, then legs 7 cm and 16 cm, area 56 cm².

So I'll go with that.

Fourth Net Surface Area = 362 cm²

---

Now, to summarize:

1. First net: 216 cm²
2. Second net: 392 cm²
3. Third net: 966 cm²
4. Fourth net: 362 cm²

But I'm not confident, especially for the first and third.

Let me double-check the first net.

For the first net (triangular pyramid), if it's composed of 4 triangles, each with base 9 cm and height 12 cm, then area per triangle = 0.5*9*12 = 54 cm², total 216 cm². Seems reasonable.

For the second net, if three rectangles 14x8 = 112 each, total 336, plus two triangles 0.5*8*7=28 each, total 56, sum 392 cm². Ok.

For the third net, if top rect 21x16=336, middle 18x12=216, bottom 18x11=198, two triangles 0.5*18*12=108 each, total 216, sum 336+216=552, +198=750, +216=966 cm². But why is the triangle's height 12 cm? Because it's attached to the 12 cm high rectangle, and perhaps when folded, the height is 12 cm, but in reality, for the triangle, the height is perpendicular to the base, so if the base is 18 cm, and it's attached to the rectangle's side, the height of the triangle may not be 12 cm.

In the net, the "12cm" is the height of the rectangle, not related to the triangle's height.

Perhaps for the triangle, the height is not given, but in the diagram, there is no other label, so maybe we have to assume that the triangle's height is the same as the rectangle's height for simplicity, or perhaps it's given by the context.

Another thought: in the third net, the "12cm" on the middle rectangle might be the height of the triangle, but it's labeled on the rectangle.

Perhaps the triangle's height is 12 cm, as it's the only number available.

I think for the sake of completing, I'll keep it.

For the fourth net, with left rect 18x10=180, right rect 7x10=70, two triangles 0.5*7*16=56 each, total 112, sum 180+70+112=362 cm².

So final answers:

1. 216 cm²
2. 392 cm²
3. 966 cm²
4. 362 cm²

But let's write them as per the order in the image.

The image has four nets:
- Top left: first
- Top right: second
- Middle left: third
- Bottom: fourth

So surface areas are:
- Net 1: 216 cm²
- Net 2: 392 cm²
- Net 3: 966 cm²
- Net 4: 362 cm²

Now for the final answer, since the user asked to find the surface area of these nets, and there are four, I need to provide all four.

So Final Answer: 216 cm², 392 cm², 966 cm², 362 cm²

But to box it, perhaps list them.

Since the problem says "find out the surface area of these nets", plural, so all four.

So I'll put that.

Final Answer: 216, 392, 966, 362 (in cm²)

To be precise, let's confirm the units; all are in cm, so cm².

So \boxed{216} \boxed{392} \boxed{966} \boxed{362}

But usually, we list them in order.

Perhaps write as a list.

Since the instruction is to provide the final answer after reasoning, and it's multiple, I'll state them.

Final Answer: The surface areas are 216 cm², 392 cm², 966 cm², and 362 cm² for the four nets respectively.

For the box, perhaps \boxed{216, 392, 966, 362}

I think that's acceptable.

So I'll go with that.
