This example demonstrates how to unfold the surface area of a 3D solid figure (like a cube) into a 2D plane. It involves core math concepts such as surface area calculation, polygon construction, similarity transformation, and quadratic functions. The construction uses commands like Polygon and Point to create points and polygons. Suitable for high school students learning solid geometry and analytical geometry, or for mathematical teaching demonstrations.
