a two-dimensional pattern that can be folded into a three-dimensional polyhedron
SmartieSarah, 2/19/08
A figure made up of a large number of straight lines or curves, which are connected at certain points and related to each other by some specified law.
a 2-dimensional representation or model of a 3-dimensional figure or solid which may be obtained by unfolding the figure to show all of its faces
A plane polygon with diagonals which can be folded up into a polyhedron, sometimes in more than one way.
Adjacent Polygons Foldable to Create a Specific Polyhedron
a 2D shape that can be folded to give a 3D form, sometimes called a development
a two-dimensional pattern that can be folded into a three-dimensional shape
Often referred to in elementary school math. A flattened 3-D shape that can be turned into a 3-D object with glue/tape and folding.
a drawing of a polyhedron unfolded along its edges, to lay flat in a plane. The earliest known examples of nets to represent polyhedra are by Albrecht Durer.
A flat diagram consisting of plane faces arranged so that it may be folded to form a solid.
A plane figure obtained by opening and flattening a 3-D object.
A two-dimensional shape that can be folded into a three-dimensional figure is a net of that figure.
In geometry the net of a polyhedron is an arrangement of edge-joined polygons in the plane which can be folded to become the faces of the polyhedron. Polyhedral nets are a useful aid to the study of polyhedra and solid geometry in general, as they allow for models of polyhedra to be constructed from material such as thin cardboard.
