Question

If a figure has eight vertices and 12 edges, how many faces does it have?

Answer 1

6 faces its a polyhedron

Answer 2

Answer:

6 faces does it have

Step-by-step explanation:

In any convex polyhedron:

let v be the number  vertices , e is the number of edges and f is the number of faces then;

$v+f-2 = e$              ....[1]

As per the statement:

If a figure has eight vertices and 12 edges

⇒v = 8 and e = 12

Substitute in [1] to solve for f, we have;

$8+f-2 = 12$

⇒$6+f = 12$

Subtract 6 from both sides we have;

f = 6

Therefore, 6 faces does it have
