Sketch a net from a 3D figure

The video tutorial explains how to determine the net of a 3D figure, specifically a rectangular prism. It guides viewers through visualizing the 3D shape, identifying its sides, and creating a 2D net by imagining the figure laid flat. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between the sides of the prism and how they translate into a net, ensuring all sides are accounted for. The process is likened to unfolding a cardboard box, making it easier to visualize the transformation from 3D to 2D.

What role do opposite sides play in the creation of a net for a rectangular prism?

Explain how the top of the rectangular prism is connected in the net.
