than one net.
Let’s have a look at the given net of a cuboid.

We can see that the plane figures on its parts are 4 rectangles and 2 squares. Thus, it can be
folded to create a cuboid which is a 3D figure.
Some more nets that can be folded to create a cuboid are shown below.
The nets of some more three-dimensional figures are shown in the following table.
