Q5 of 32 Page 292

Complete the table by using Euler’s formula.

(i) Given: Faces = 8

Vertices = 6


Edges = ?


According to Euler’s formula, we know that : F + V = E + 2


8 + 6 = E + 2


14 = E + 2


E = 14—2 = 12


No. of Edges = 12


(ii) Given: Faces = 5


Vertices = ?


Edges = 9


According to Euler’s formula, we know that : F + V = E + 2


5 + V = 9 + 2


5 + V = 11


V = 11—5 = 6


No. of Vertices = 6


(iii) Given: Faces = ?


Vertices = 12


Edges = 30


According to Euler’s formula, we know that : F + V = E + 2


F + 12 = 30 + 2


F + 12 = 32


E = 32—12 = 20


No. of faces = 20
