How do you find the dimensions of a net that formes a cube?

This is for my project and i really need to know now cuz i soon have to hand it in so anyone plz tell me how to find the dimensions of a net that forms a cube. Thank You!How do you find the dimensions of a net that formes a cube?
Sorry to answer a question with more questions but:



Do you mean a net (like a fishing net) folded around and supported on a framework so it makes (and encloses) a cube shape?



Do you just need the area of the 6 sides of the cube or do you need to include the extra net that needs to be accounted for in folding the net to this shape?



Either way, I think you could just take a small cube-shaped object and try folding a sheet of paper around it, then unfolding and adding up the areas of the various folds required to generate the cube shape. You could then make a simple equation that would calculate this area to any desired size of cube.
