If F = 10, V = 15 and E = 20.
Then, we know Using Euler’s formula, F + V – E = 2
L.H.S. = F + V – E
= 10 + 15 – 20
= 25 – 20
= 5
R.H.S. = 2
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Therefore, it does not follow Euler’s formula.
Number of faces = F = 10
Number of edges = E = 20
Number of vertices = V = 15
Any polyhedron satisfies Euler’s Formula, according to which, F + V − E = 2 For the given polygon,
F + V − E = 10 + 15 − 20 = 25 − 20 = 5 ≠ 2
Since Euler’s formula is not satisfied, such a polyhedron is not possible.
No.
Let us use Euler’s formula
V + F = E + 2
15 + 10 = 20 + 2
25 ≠ 22
Since the given polyhedron is not following Euler’s formula, therefore it is not possible to have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices.
Since, F + V = E + 2
As 10 + 15 ≠ 20 + 2
∴ A polyhedron cannot have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices.
No,
Using Euler’s formula
V + F = E + 2
15 + 10 = 20 + 2
25 ≠ 22
Since the given polyhedron is not following Euler’s formula, therefore its not possible.
Euclid formula
faces+vertices-edges should equal to 2
F+V-E=10+2-15=5
this polyhedral not satisfy euclid formula.
