AI Thread Summary
To create an accurate 3D figure from given nets, it's essential to analyze the top, side, and front views carefully. The user is struggling with part (d) of a problem, having successfully completed parts (a), (b), and (c). They initially proposed a triangular prism but noted discrepancies with the front view. Suggestions include using isometric grid paper to aid in visualizing the 3D structure. Accurate representation of the views is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

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

My sketch for (d) is a triangular prism ...
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
