40. What Euler’s formula? Verify the Euler’s formula for a pentagonal prism.


If a polyhedron is having number of faces as F, number of edges as E and the number of vertices as V, then the relationship F + V = E + 2 is known as Euler’s formula. Following figure is a solid pentagonal prism.

If a polyhedron is having number of faces as F, number of edges as E

It has:
 Number of faces (F) = 7
 Number of edges (E) = 15
 Number of vertices (V) = 10
Substituting the values of F, E and V in the relation,
                     F + V = E + 2
we have  
                     7 + 10 = 15 + 2
rightwards double arrow                     17  = 17
Which is true, the Euler’s formula is verified.
