Understanding Nets of Solids

This video tutorial introduces the concept of nets of solids, explaining how 2D shapes can be folded to form 3D shapes. It uses a cube as an example to demonstrate how nets work and discusses the practical applications of nets in fields like manufacturing, 3D printing, and animation. The tutorial encourages hands-on practice by creating nets with paper to better understand the concept.
