Question 9:

Answer:

Question 10:

Can a polyhedron have for its faces:
(i) 3 triangles?
(ii) 4 triangles?
(iii) a square and four triangles?

Answer:

(i) No
(ii) Yes, Pyramid
(iii) Yes, Square Pyramid.

Question 11:

Is it possible to have a polyhedron with any given number of faces?

Answer:

Yes, Pyramid.

Question 12:

Which are Prism’s among the following:

Answer:

(ii) Unsharpened Pencil and (iii) a table weight.

Question 13:

(i) How are prisms and cylinders alike?
(ii) How are pyramids and a cones alike?

Answer:

(i) Both prism and cylinder may have common vertical axis.
(ii) Both pyramid and cone have only one vertex above the plane base.

Question 14:

Is a square prism same as a cube? Explain.

Answer:

Yes, a square prism can be same as cube in the same way as a rectangular prism is same as cuboid.

Question 15:

Verify Euler’s formula for these solids:

Answer:

(i) Number of faces F = 5
Number of vertices V = 9
Number of edges E = 12
By Euler’s law :
F + V – E = 2
5 + 9 – 12 = 2
2 = 2
(ii) Number of faces F = 10
Number of vertices V = 9
Number of edges E = 17
By Euler’s law :
F + V – E
10 + 9 – 17 = 2
2 = 2

Question 16:

Using Euler’s formula, find the unknown:

Answer:

According to Euler’s Formula :
F + V = E + 2
Therefore, we have:

Question 17:

Can a polyhedron have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices ?

Answer:

No, because, it does not satisfies the Euler’s relation.
i.e., F + V – E = 2
10 + 15 – 20
25 – 20 = 5 2.
