Apolyhedron has the following characteristics. find the missing value. a. 12 faces, 18 edges, vertices b. 8 faces, edges, 14 vertices and show all work. you.

Formula : V + F – E = 2
where V = number if vertices, F = number of faces and E = number of edges

Question a:

V + F - E = 2
V = 2 - F + E
V = 2 - 12 + 18 
V = 8

(a) 12 faces, 18 edges, 8 vertices

Question b:

V + F - E = 2
E = V+ F - 2
E = 14 + 8 - 2
E = 20

(b) 8 faces, 20 edges, 14 vertices

The answer is a. yes, it asks a question that can be answered correctly (by measuring hands).
