Question

ok for some reason the box froze on me so continuing here!

Answer 1

so the vortex would be 4

Answer 2

mean vertex lol

Answer 3

No.

I will assume the diagram's vertices ABCD are at each corner?

Answer 4

there are 4 vertices, each of degree 2

Answer 5

Then each vertex degree would be 2

Answer 6

huh? why 2? where does that come in

Answer 7

so then the answer is 8?

Answer 8

But now if you draw a line from D to B,

D and B will have a vertex degree of 3. While A and C still only have 2

Answer 9

The degree is the number of edges that vertex meets at (is made of)

Answer 10

why?

Answer 11

So since there are only two lines ending at A, it's degree is 2.

Answer 12

yeah 4, so what is the answer?

Answer 13

The rectangle (ABCD) has four edges, yes.

The vertex A, only has two edges.

Answer 14

So the answer is 2.

Answer 15

let me try another

Answer 16

Is that inner diamond supposed to be touching the sides of the rectangle?

Answer 17

Or do you have two independent shapes there?
