What is a flat pattern that can be folded to make a solid figure is a?
It is often referred to as a "net." In higher-level mathematics, especially topology, the word "surface" can be used.
What is the plural form of mathematics?
Mathematics"mathematics" is a plural noun already, the subject is Mathematics!
Why are plane and solid shapes important?
Objects that exist in the real world usually have shapes (although they can also be shapeless) and those shapes will bear some resemblance, and in some cases a very close resemblance, to the theoretical shapes of plane and solid geometry, such as triangles, squares, circles, spheres, cubes, etc. But even aside from that, a deep understanding of our universe (and the laws of nature which describe the way it operates) would not be possible without a knowledge of plane and solid shapes. Geometry has implications for every area of mathematics, and mathematics is the language of science.
Is it true that a mathematics expert is more likely to fail chemistry and physics?
It depends on what you mean. If you mean "more likely to fail chemistry and physics than to fail mathematics", then the answer is presumably yes. If you mean "more likely to fail chemistry and physics than some bozo who can't figure out how this 'multiplication' thing works", then no. In physics and (most kinds of) chemistry, a solid understanding of mathematics can only be helpful.
How many dimensions does a geometric solid occupy?
In the common use of the phrase "geometric solid", the answer is three. In advanced mathematics, dimensions greater than three are also studied. In many cases, the name of a plane (two-dimensional) figure has the ending "-gon" as in "hexagon", while the name of a solid figure (three dimensional) has the ending "-hedron" as in tetrahedron.
