Question

Verify Euler’s formula for a right triangular prism.​

Answer 1

$\huge \underline \mathbb {SOLUTION:-}$

Number of vertices (V) = 6

Number of faces (F) = 5

and number of edges (E) = 9

Euler’s formula:

• V + F - E = 2

Putting the values according to the given formula:

➠ 6 + 5 - 9 = 2

➠ 11 - 9 = 2

➠ 2 = 2

• Hence, the formula is verified.

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of vertices (V) = 6

Number of faces (F) = 5

and number of edges (E) = 9

Euler’s formula:

V + F – E = 2

⇒ 6 + 5 – 9 = 2

⇒ 2 = 2

Hence, the formula is verified.
