Visualizing Geometry
Nets vs. Solids

 Geogebra Nets
 Cube, Rectangular Prism, Cylinder, Cone, Octahedron

 Net – a 2D diagram that shows all the surfaces of a 3D figure

Isometric Drawings

 Isometric Drawing – a drawing that shows a corner view of a three-

dimensional figure.

 Slanted lines represent depth

 Isometric Dot Paper can be used to draw solids
