  1. The net below folds into a cube. Sketch the cube so that its front face is shaded as shown below.

    A square is divided diagonally with top left half white and bottom right half yellow.

    A net is composed of six squares.

  2. Architecture What does the net of the staircase shown look like? Draw the net. (Hint: Visualize stretching the stairs out flat.)

    A staircase with three steps has three rectangles facing up connected to three rectangles facing right, with a side facing front.

  3. A hexomino is a two-dimensional figure formed with six squares. Each square shares at least one side with another square. The 11 nets of a cube that you found in Exercise 38 are hexominoes. Draw as many of the remaining 24 hexominoes as you can.

  4. Visualization Use the orthographic drawing below.

    An orthographic drawing displays top, front, and right views.

    1. Make an isometric drawing of the structure.
    2. Make an isometric drawing of the structure from part (a) after it has been turned on its base 90 degrees  counterclockwise.
    3. Make an orthographic drawing of the structure from part (b).
    4. Turn the structure from part (a) 180 degrees .  Repeat parts (b) and (c).

Standardized Test Prep

SAT/ACT

  1. How many possible nets does the solid below have?

    A solid has a triangular base connected to three triangular sides meeting at a point above.

    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
  2. Solve 10 eh minus 5 b equals 25  for b.
    1. b equals 10 eh plus 25
    2. b equals 10 eh minus 25
    3. b equals 2 eh plus 5
    4. b equals 2 eh minus 5

Short Response

  1. Graph the equation x plus 2 y equals negative 3 .  Label the x- and y-intercepts.

Mixed Review

See p. 824.

For Exercises 46 and 47, use the diagram below.

Triangle DEF has side DE measuring 3.2 centimeters, EF measuring 4.2 centimeters, DF measuring 4.9 centimeters, angle D measuring 60 degrees, angle E measuring 70 degrees, and angle F measuring 50 degrees. All data are approximate.

  1. Measure DE and EF to the nearest millimeter.
  2. Measure each angle to the nearest degree.
  3. Draw a triangle that has sides of length 6 cm and 5 cm with a 90 degrees  angle between those two sides.
