its here right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes you may ask your first question here or you may open a new question by clicking on "Ask a question" on top left corner of this page

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would need help with that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

basically you just need to unfold the given solid... look at first solid, it is a cylinder with top and bottom faces as `circular disks` and the middle curved region is just a folded `rectangle`, right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

this is how the net looks when u break the solid : http://www.mathsteacher.com.au/year8/ch10_geomcons/09_cones/Image16382.gif

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would basically be the answer for the first one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand how its a rectangle for the middle

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats a very good question :) here is a good animation : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caHvS5OIp2E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh now i understand but on the picture you sent me it was a rectangle and in the video it was a square

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

square is also a kind of rectangle... so square also works !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it really doesn't matter?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes it doesnt matter for the net, make it a rectangle as it covers square also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay and now the second one how would i unfold that one

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what shapes do you see for the faces ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i sent you the picture

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i have it :) look at the given solid, what polygons do you see for faces ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rectangles?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes ! the lateral sides are all rectangles but it has two hexagonal bases also, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry what does that mean? i know nothing of geometry I'm new to this haha sorry!!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the net looks like below : http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/HexagonalPrismNet_700.gif

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it, the top would be the bottom right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need the net labeled with its dimensions

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yep !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the squares would be the corved surface?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

curved

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there is no curved surface here, the squares are called the `lateral ` sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what would be the top part?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just label it as `top face` and `bottom face`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which part would be the base?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it doesn't matter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the bottom face would be the top one? just making sure

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it doesnt matter what you call top/bottom

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just don't call both the faces as top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now the 3rd question how would i do that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihwnDpijGY0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the top and bottom don't matter what i label them right? and what are the rectangles called?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lateral sides

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

or lateral faces

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and yes, top and bottom doesn't matter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the 4th question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WpMCpXdeig

OpenStudy (anonymous):
