When you break apart a rectangular pyramid to create a net, the resulting two-dimensional shapes include:
-
Rectangle: The base of the pyramid is a rectangle, and it will appear as one of the shapes in the net.
-
Triangles: The four triangular faces of the pyramid will also be represented in the net. Each triangular face corresponds to a vertex of the rectangle base.
So, the net of a rectangular pyramid consists of one rectangle and four triangles.
