Euler Polyhedron Formula/Examples

Examples of Use of Euler Polyhedron Formula

Tetrahedron

The tetrahedron has:

$4$ vertices
$6$ edges
$4$ faces.

We see that:

\(\ds V - E + F\) \(=\) \(\ds 4 - 6 + 4\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 2\)

and so the Euler Polyhedron Formula is seen to hold.


Cube

The cube has:

$8$ vertices
$12$ edges
$6$ faces.

We see that:

\(\ds V - E + F\) \(=\) \(\ds 8 - 12 + 6\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 2\)

and so the Euler Polyhedron Formula is seen to hold.
