Which statement correctly describes a net? a) a net is a two-dimensional pattern for a solid. b) a net is a pattern containing triangles. c) a net can always be folded to form a cube. d) a net is a three-dimensional figure. need don't understand geometry that well.

A) A net is a two-dimensional pattern for a solid.

In fact, a net is a two-dimensional pattern for a solid. But what is a solid? They are three-dimensional shapes. Prisms, cubes, pyramids, among others, are examples of solids. For example, the first figure below is a net because is a two dimensional patter for a pyramid which is shown in the second figure. As you can see, the first figure is a two-dimensional patter for this three-dimensional shape. Hence, by unfolding the pyramid we get the net or, in other word, by folding the net we get the pyramid.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
