Answer:

Explanation:

False.

Solids with curves can be laid out as a net. In fact, there are many solids with curves that can be represented by a net. For example, a cylinder can be represented by a net consisting of two circles for the top and bottom faces and a rectangle wrapping around the circumference of the circles for the side face. Similarly, a cone can be represented by a net consisting of a circle for the base and a sector of a circle for the lateral face, which can be unfolded and attached to the circular base.

While it may be more difficult to visualize and create a net for a solid with curves compared to a solid with flat faces, it is still possible to do so in many cases.
