Math Review of Representing Solid Figures 150 150 Deborah

Math Review of Representing Solid Figures

Overview Three-dimensional solid figures can be represented by the two-dimensional pattern of polygons that create them. The pattern, called a net, is a visual representation that illustrates the formula for the surface area of the three-dimensional figure. If the net were folded, it would produce that figure. Representation of Cylinders The net for a cylinder…
