Nets for platonic solids

We live in 3 dimensional world. Many figures around us have different configurations. There are some solids which follow unique criterion. 

1. Made of polygonal faces

2. All faces are regular in nature - Each side is of same length

3. Same number of faces meet at the vertex

Following 5 solids show these properties.

  1. Tetrahedron 
  2. Cube
  3. Octahedron
  4. Dodecahedron
  5. Icosahedron
Nets are 2 dimensional representation of these 3 dimensional solids. 

While experimenting with these figures / shapes , I created these files which contains Nets for these 3 dimensional solids,  for my own use. 


Please fill free to use these PDF files - A4 paper size.

There are 11 nets for cube which are also attached.
