Q6 of 32 Page 292

Can a polyhedra have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices?

Given: No. of face(F):10

No. of edges(E):20


No. of vertices(V):15


According to Euler formula, we know that


F + V = E + 2


That is, here


10 + 15 = 20 + 2


25 = 22


This is not true.(That is, 25≠22 )


A polyhedra with 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices is not possible.
