1-1 Nets and Drawings for Visualizing Geometry

Objective

To make nets and drawings of three-dimensional figures

  A Solve It problem demonstrates visualizing figures.
Image Long Description

In the Solve It, you had to “see” the projection of one side of an object onto a flat surface. Visualizing figures is a key skill that you will develop in geometry.

Essential Understanding You can represent a three-dimensional object with a two-dimensional figure using special drawing techniques.

A net is a two-dimensional diagram that you can fold to form a three-dimensional figure. A net shows all of the surfaces of a figure in one view.
