A polyhedron has 9 faces and 14 edges. How many corners will it have?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
By euler's formula F+V-E=2
Therefore, 9+V-14=2
9+V=2+14
9+V=16
V=16-9=7
Thus the polyhedron will have 7 corners.
Given :- A polyhedron has 9 faces and 14 edges.
To Find :- How many corners will it have ?
Concept used :-
- According to euler formula in a polygon :- Number of Faces + Number of Vertices - Number of Edges = 2
- Any polygon has as many corners as it has sides . So, Number of Vertices = Number of corner points .
Solution :-
Let the given polyhedron has total x vertices .
So,
→ Number of Faces + Number of Vertices - Number of Edges = 2
putting given values,
→ 9 + x - 14 = 2
→ x + 9 - 14 = 2
→ x - 5 = 2
→ x = 2 + 5
→ x = 7
then,
→ Total number of vertices of given polyhedron = 7
now,
→ Number of Vertices = Number of corner points .
therefore,
→ Number of corner points = 7 (Ans.)
Hence, the given polyhedron has total 7 corners .
