Net

In geometry, a net is a two-dimensional, flat pattern that can be folded to form a three-dimensional solid figure. It shows all the faces of the solid laid out flat.

Example

The net of a cube consists of six identical squares arranged in a cross or "T" shape. When folded along the edges, these six squares join together to create the cube without overlapping.
