A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

A net is made of six rectangles. Two of the rectangles are 4 cm by 2 cm, two are 4 cm by 3 cm, and the other two are 2 cm by 3 cm. When the net is folded along the edges, which three‑dimensional shape is formed?

Question 2 of 3

The net shown consists of two identical squares that are 5 cm on a side and four identical rectangles that are 5 cm by 8 cm, arranged so that the two squares are opposite each other and each rectangle is attached to a side of a square. Which three‑dimensional solid can be formed by folding this net?

Question 3 of 3

The net described consists of four rectangles each 2 cm × 3 cm arranged in a straight line. A 2 cm × 2 cm square is attached to the left side of the second rectangle and another 2 cm × 2 cm square is attached to the right side of the third rectangle. When the net is folded along every edge, which three‑dimensional solid is formed?
