1. Analyze the properties of the cuboid's faces
The given cuboid consists of identical long rectangular faces and identical square faces at the ends. In any valid net, the rectangular faces must fold to form the lateral surface (a continuous band), and the square faces must form the opposite bases.
2. Evaluate the nets by mental folding
By mentally folding the nets along the edges:
- Net (1), (2), and (4) can be folded such that the rectangular faces form the lateral tube of the cuboid without overlapping, and the square faces fold to cover the two opposite open ends.
- Net (3) has a configuration where folding the rectangular faces will cause two of the long rectangular faces to overlap on the same side, leaving one side of the cuboid open and exposed.
Answer
Net (3) (option 3)
