Question

Name any 5 platonic solids and state their properties.
Verify the Euler's formula for each.

Answer 1

everything you need is here

honestly, to help you, i'd have to read this myself.... soz:(

Answer 2

@Jhannybean

Answer 3

@Empty because im not very familiar with Euler's formula.

Answer 4

What are Platonic Solids?

Answer 5

These are the platonic solids. They're just some pretty shapes, kind of like 3D versions of regular polygons:

They obey Euler's characteristic formula:

V-E+F=2

This is actually much simpler than it might appear! V means Vertices (corners) E means edges (where faces meet) and F means number of faces.

So if you look at a cube, you can see that it has 6 faces (F=6), 8 corners (V=8) and 12 edges (E=12). So we plug these in:

8-12+6 and when you add these all up, you get 2! Use this example to help you understand what these words all mean by looking at a cube, and try it out on the other shapes. You'll know you did it right when you get 2. :D

Answer 6

Ah.
That's is in general,not specific right??
?

Answer 7

Yeah this is in general for shapes that aren't perfect like these.

Answer 8

Um.
How do I get the properties of each of the platonic solid?>_<

Answer 9

for planar graphs(graphs whose edges don't cross) I think.

Answer 10

Do you know individual properties of the platonic solids?@Empty
