Exercise 17.2
1. Can a polyhedron have for its faces
(i) 3 triangles?
(ii) 4 triangles?
(iii) a square and four triangles?
Solution:
(i) No
(ii) Yes
(iii) Yes
2. Which are prisms among the following?

Solution:
(i) and (iv) are the only prisms.
3. Verify Euler’s formula for these solids:

Solution:
| Faces | Vertices | Edges | F + V = E + 2 | |
| (i) | 7 | 10 | 15 | 7 + 10 = 15 + 217 = 17 |
| (ii) | 9 | 5 | 12 | 9 + 5 = 12 + 214 = 14 |
| (iii) | 7 | 7 | 12 | 7 + 7 = 12 + 214 = 14 |
| (iv) | 9 | 9 | 16 | 9 + 9 = 16 + 218 = 18 |
4. Can a polyhedron have 15 faces, 30 edges and 20 vertices?
Solution:
We know that
F + V = E + 2
Substituting the values
15 + 20 = 35 and 30 + 2 = 32
Here
35 ≠ 32
Therefore, a polyhedron cannot have 15 faces, 30 edges and 20 vertices.
5. If a polyhedron has 8 faces and 8 vertices, find the number of edges.
Solution:
We know that
A polyhedron has 8 faces and 8 vertices.
Here
No. of edges = F + V – 2
Substituting the values
= 8 + 8 – 2
= 14
6. If a polyhedron has 7 faces and 10 vertices, find the number of edges.
Solution:
We know that
A polyhedron has 7 faces and 10 vertices
Here
No. of edges = F + V – 2
Substituting the values
= 7 + 10 – 2
= 15
7. Write the number of faces, vertices and edges in
(i) an octagonal prism
(ii) decagonal pyramid.
Solution:
| No. of faces | No. of vertices | No. of edges | |
| (i) an octagonal prism | 10 | 16 | 24 |
| (ii) decagonal pyramid | 11 | 11 | 20 |
8. Using Euler’s formula, complete the following table:
| Faces | Vertices | Edges | |
| (i) | 6 | – | 12 |
| (ii) | – | 5 | 8 |
| (iii) | 14 | 24 | – |
| (iv) | – | 16 | 30 |
| (v) | 16 | – | 42 |
| (vi) | 19 | 19 | – |
Solution:
| Faces | Vertices | Edges | F + V = E + 2 | |
| (i) | 6 | 8 | 12 | 12 + 2 = 146 + 8 = 14 |
| (ii) | 5 | 5 | 8 | 8 + 2 = 105 + 5 = 10 |
| (iii) | 14 | 24 | 36 | 14 + 24 = 3838 – 2 = 36 |
| (iv) | 16 | 16 | 30 | 30 + 2 = 3216 + 16 = 32 |
| (v) | 16 | 28 | 42 | 42 + 2 = 4416 + 28 = 44 |
| (vi) | 19 | 19 | 36 | 19 + 19 = 382 + 36 = 38 |
