12.
Find the number of vertices in a polyhedron which has 30 edges and 12 faces.
13.
A polyhedron has number of vertices equal to \(\frac{3}{2}\) times of number of faces. If polyhedron has 8 edges, then find number of vertices and faces.
14.
Verify which of the following are the faces, edges and, vertices of a polyhedron.
(i) Faces = 10, edges = 20 and vertices = 15
(ii) Faces = 7, edges = 5and vertices = 4
(iii) Faces = 4, edges = 6 and vertices = 4
(iv) Faces= 5, edges = 4 and vertices = 3
15.
Can a polyhedron have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices?
1.
If a polyhedron is having number of faces as F, number of edges as E and the number of vertices as V, then the relationship
F+ V=E+2
is known as Euler's formula. Following figure is a solid pentagonal prism.

It has:
Number of faces (F) = 7
Number of edges (E) = 15
Number of vertices (V) = 10
Substituting the values of F, E and V in the relation,
F+ V=E+2
We have
7 + 10 = 15 + 2
⇒ 17 = 17
which is true, the Euler's formula is verified.
2.
F = n + 1, V = n + 1 and E = 2 n
3.
Yes, draw an octagonal pyramid.
4.
12
5.
Actual distance represented by
1 cm = 200km
Actual distance represented by 8 cm
= 8 x 200 km = 1600 km
So, actual distance between City A and City B is 1600 km
6.
Number of faces is equal to 16.
7.
In a sphere, there is no vertex.
8.
In an octagonal pyramid, there are 9 faces.
9.
In a hexahedron there are 6 faces
10.
Hexagonal pyramid There is one hexagonal base and six triangular faces in a hexagonal pyramid. The figure shown below is a hexagonal pyramid.
11.
Rectangular pyramid There is one rectangular base and four triangular faces in a rectangular pyramid. The alongside figure is a rectangular pyramid.
12.
For any polyhedron,
F + V - E = 2
Here, F =12, V = ?, E = 30
Using above formula,
12 + V - 30 = 2 ⇒ V - 18 = 2
V = 2 + 18 ⇒ V = 20
13.
Number of faces = 4
Number of vertices = 6
14.
Only option (iii) satisfy F + V = E + 2.
So, it is the required answer.
15.
Given, F = 10, E = 20 and V = 15
By Euler's formula, we have F + V - E = 2
On putting these values in LHS, we get
LHS = F + V - E = 10 +15 - 20 = 25 - 20 = 5 ≠ 2
∴ LHS ≠ RHS
So, Euler's formula is not verified.
Hence, such a polyhedron is not possible.
