Math Problem Statement
Solution
In this problem, we are asked which two points meet at the red point X when the given net is folded into a cube.
Step-by-Step Folding Process:
-
Identify the structure of the cube: The net consists of 6 squares, and when folded, it forms a standard cube where each face meets another at its edges. Points along shared edges will meet each other.
-
Folding the top and bottom: When folded into a cube, points , , and will fold to the opposite sides from points , , and .
-
Focusing on point X:
- Point X lies at the corner where square touches square .
- When the net is folded into a cube, the square containing points , , and will fold up, and the square containing points , , and will fold down.
Specifically, the red point X connects two edges:
- One edge from the square with points and (because X is on the right side of the net, at the corner of square ),
- And one edge from the square with points and .
-
Result: After folding, point X will meet at the junction of points and .
Thus, the two points that meet at point X are B and F.
