    Cube Net
Click For Summary
To identify the net of a cube, one must recognize that it consists of six squares, corresponding to the cube's six faces. A useful method involves checking for configurations where one square has three adjacent squares or two squares each have two adjacent squares. This approach simplifies the identification process. The discussion emphasizes the importance of visualizing the arrangement of squares to successfully determine the net. Understanding these patterns can aid in effectively solving related problems.

To identify the net of a cube, you must observe 6 squares (since a cube has 6 sides).
Either one square should have 3 adjacent squares, or 2 squares should have 2 adjacent squares, or both.

Follow the same procedure to find the net of a cube. Like This :

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
