Question

Alejandro and Noya were told to draw a net for an octagonal prism. Which statement about the students’ nets is true?

2 nets. Both nets do not form octagonal prisms.

Only Alejandro’s net is correct.
Only Noya’s net is correct.
Neither net is correct.
Both nets are correct.

Answer 1

D. Neither net is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prism is a three dimensional shape with two bases facing each other and named with respect to the shape of its base. An octagonal prism is a shape that is formed from its eight sided base called octagon. The length of the opposite faces are equal, i.e regular, and can be formed by two octagonal bases with a required number of square sides.

Comparing the drawings of Alejandro and Noya, it is obvious that none has the required shape. So neither of the drawn nets is correct.

Answer 2

(C)Neither Net is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A prism is a three-dimensional shape with a uniform cross section.

An Octagonal prism is formed with the help of two regular octagon caps and 8 square sides.

Out of these, none satisfies the condition for the net of an octagonal prism.

An accurate net of an Octagonal Prism is attached.
