Understanding Surface Area and Nets

The video tutorial explains how to determine if a given net can represent a figure with a specified surface area. It begins by introducing the problem and describing the net's dimensions. The tutorial then guides viewers through visualizing the polyhedron formed by the net and calculating its surface area. Ultimately, it concludes that the net represents a figure with a surface area of 48 square centimeters, not 40 as initially stated.
