You can think of nuts as the unfolded form or laid out

A net is a 2D shape that folds to make up a 3D shape. The net of a dodecahedron (a platonic solid with twelve pentagonal faces) is made up of 12 regular pentagons.

The net of a shape in geometry is defined as a pattern that can be cut and folded to make a model of a solid shape. The 'net' of a shape (also called a geometry net) is a term used to describe what a 3D shape would look like if it was opened out and laid flat.

In mathematics, more specifically in general topology and related branches, a net or Moore–Smith sequence is a function whose domain is a directed set. The codomain of this function is usually some topological space. Nets directly generalize the concept of a sequence in a metric space.

In geometry, a net is a 2-dimensional shape that can be folded to form a 3-dimensional shape or a solid. In other words, a net is a drawing made when the surface of a 3-dimensional figure is laid out flat, showing each face and edge of the figure in 2-dimensions.

The net of a 3D shape is what it looks like if it is opened out flat. A net can be folded up to make a 3D shape. There may be several possible nets for one 3D shape. You can draw a net on paper, then fold it into the shape.

A net in maths is a flat 2D shape that can be cut out and folded to form the 3D shape. Put another way, a net is a plane figure composed of polygons, that by folding and joining can form a polyhedron.
