Development of Intersecting Surfaces
Students create the two-dimensional surface developments for solids that have been cut or intersected by other solids.
About This Topic
Students create the two-dimensional surface developments for solids that have been cut or intersected by other solids.
Key Questions
- How do the lines of intersection affect the final shape of a surface development?
- What is the sequence of steps required to develop a cylinder that has been penetrated by a prism?
- How can we verify the accuracy of our development using a physical model?
