Question
Look at the shapes given below and state which of these are polyhedra using Euler’s formula.

Solution
In the given figure, we have
Faces (F) = 11, Vertices (V) = 11 and Edges (E) = 20
On putting these values in Euler’s formula, we get
F + V – E = 2
⇒ 11 + 11 – 20 = 2
⇒ 22 – 20 = 2
⇒ 2 = 2
Hence, these values satisfies the Euler’s formula. So, it is a polyhedra.
