1. The problem asks to identify which shapes are nets of cubes from the given descriptions.
2. A net of a cube consists of 6 squares connected edge-to-edge in a pattern that can be folded into a cube.
3. Important rules for cube nets:
- Must have exactly 6 squares.
- Squares must be arranged so that when folded, each square forms one face of the cube.
- Common cube nets include T-shapes, crosses, and zigzag patterns that fold without overlap.
4. Analyze each shape:
- Shape A: 6 squares in a zigzag pattern. This can fold into a cube because the zigzag allows folding edges to meet.
- Shape B: 6 squares mainly in a straight line with a small branch. This is not a valid cube net because the long line cannot fold into a cube without overlapping.
- Shape C: 6 squares in a T-like pattern. This is a classic cube net and folds perfectly into a cube.
- Shape D: 6 squares in a cross-like shape with a short tail. This is also a known cube net pattern.
5. Therefore, the nets of cubes are Shapes A, C, and D.
Final answer: Shapes A, C, and D are nets of cubes.
