Net of a Triangular Prism
Net of a Triangular Prism is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 55: Nets of Prisms, Cylinders, Pyramids, and Cones in Saxon Math, Course 3.
Key Concepts
Property A triangular prism has two congruent triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces.
Examples The net of a triangular prism typically looks like three rectangles joined in a row, with two triangles attached to opposite sides of the central rectangle. A triangular slice of cheese, if unfolded, would have two triangles for the ends and three rectangles for the sides.
Explanation Picture a classic camping tent. If you could unfold it, you would have two triangles (the front and back flaps) and three rectangles that make up the floor and the two slanted roof sides. These five flat shapes connect to form the complete net, showing the prism's entire surface before it is folded into its 3D shape.
