A rectangular prism has six sides.
In the net of this prism, we can visualize it as if we have unfolded it into its two-dimensional form. To do this, we need to unfold each face of the prism.
The top and bottom of the prism are both rectangles with dimensions 712 in.×4 in. When we unfold them, we get two rectangles with dimensions 712 in. ×212 in.
The front and back of the prism are both rectangles with dimensions 712 in.×212 in. When we unfold them, we get two rectangles with dimensions 4 in. ×212 in.
The sides of the prism are both rectangles with dimensions 4 in.×212 in. When we unfold them, we get two rectangles with dimensions 712 in. ×212 in.
Therefore, when we unfold this rectangular prism into its net, we will represent all 6 sides.
A rectangular prism has dimensions 712 in.×4 in.× 212 in. In the net of this prism, how many sides will be represented?
