Question 24. Damien wants to fold the net shown to make a cube. He wants the triangles that touch the edges of the neighboring faces of the cube to be shaded the same. How should he shade the triangles of the unshaded square in the net? First, we can rearrange the net of the cube so that the unshaded square is in the center. This makes it easier to see which triangle should be shaded. Notice how we do not directly slide each face over. We have to make sure that each face keeps its proper orientation relative to all other faces. Now we can shade in the triangles that border shaded triangles from other faces, and we can see that our resulting face resembles answer choice B.
