This example demonstrates the net of a rectangular prism. It involves basic concepts in solid geometry, such as the construction and unfolding of a rectangular prism. Using GeoGebra commands like Sequence, Element, and Polygon, it dynamically shows how the faces of the prism can be unfolded into a plane figure. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn solid geometry and geometric construction.
