Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenge of accurately creating a 3D figure from given nets, specifically focusing on interpreting top, side, and front views. Participants are exploring how to visualize and construct the 3D representation based on these views.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Neha expresses difficulty in creating a 3D figure from the provided nets, initially suggesting a triangular prism but noting inconsistencies with the front view.
  • Another participant suggests using isometric grid paper to assist in sketching the 3D figure.
  • Neha mentions having solved parts a, b, and c of the problem but is struggling specifically with part (d).
  • Neha reiterates that her sketch for part (d) is a triangular prism, indicating ongoing uncertainty about its accuracy.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the correct 3D figure, as Neha's proposed triangular prism is questioned due to discrepancies with the views provided.

Contextual Notes

There are indications of missing assumptions regarding the interpretation of the views and the specific characteristics of the nets that may affect the construction of the 3D figure.

Hi
I need help with a problem on 'Nets'. I have attached an image , need help coming up with a 3D figure based on top, side and front views. The closest i could come to was a triangular prism but the front view does not seem to agree with the prism. Please help.
Thanks
Neha

I have been able to solve parts a, b and c. It is part (d) that I am struggling with, sorry should have mentioned that! Thanks

My sketch for (d) is a triangular prism ...
