Math Problem Statement
When folded into a cube, which of the following 3 corners will touch?
Solution
The question asks which three corners will touch when the 2D net of the cube shown in the image is folded into a 3D cube.
Let's break down the structure of the cube:
- The given net has six squares labeled A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, representing the six faces of a cube.
- When the net is folded, certain squares will become adjacent faces of the cube.
From analyzing the pattern:
- A and B are adjacent along one edge.
- D and E are adjacent as well, as they share a border.
- G and F will end up next to each other after folding.
- H connects to both A and B.
Now, let's identify which combination of three squares meet at a single vertex (corner). Visualizing the fold:
- When the net folds into a cube, the corners D, B, and C will meet at a single vertex. This happens because D, B, and C are on adjacent faces that share a common corner.
Thus, the correct answer is C: D, B, and C.
