Math Labs with Activity – Verify Euler’s Formula for Various Polyhedra

February 2, 2018 by Prasanna

Math Labs with Activity – Verify Euler’s Formula for Various Polyhedra

OBJECTIVE

To verify Euler’s formula for various polyhedra

Materials Required

  1. Cardboard models of polyhedra
  2. A cutter

Theory
Euler’s formula gives a relationship between the numbers of faces, edges and vertices of a polyhedron. If in a polyhedron, the number of faces be F, the number of edges be E and the number of vertices be V then by Euler’s formula F-E+ V = 2

Procedure
Step 1: Take a cardboard model of a triangular prism as shown in Figure 35.1(a).
