Please help me with this.... Been stuck for days

OpenStudy (wheelchairgirl):

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

eulers formula? there are many....

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

F+V-E = 2

OpenStudy (wheelchairgirl):

It is the F + V = E + 2 one

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

and if the solid... polyhedra has an octagonal base... and 8 triangles its an octagonal pyramid... so will have 16 edges and 9 faces

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

See Eulers formula is 2D -1D+0D=1 ie #faces -#edges +#vertices=1

OpenStudy (wheelchairgirl):

ok so i replace the numbers with mine?

OpenStudy (wheelchairgirl):

like..... 9 - E + V = 1?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well 9 faces, 16 edges using F + V = E + 2 9 + V = 16 + 2 so 9 + V = 18 solve for V

OpenStudy (wheelchairgirl):

18 - 9 = 9 So V= 9?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

thats it

OpenStudy (wheelchairgirl):

Thanks sooooo much!

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

@campbell_st does euler formula differ for 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional cases ??

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well in 2 dimensions you don't have faces... and the number of vertices is equal to the number of sides...

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

ya ya i m sorry in 2 D we have # loops - #edes +# nodes =1
