  1. Find the number of edges on the frame of the house. Use Euler’s Theorem in a real-world situation EXAMPLE 2 House Construction SOLUTION The frame has one face as its foundation, four that make up its walls, and two that make up its roof, for a total of 7 faces.

  2. ANSWER The frame of the house has 15 edges. Use Euler’s Theorem in a real-world situation EXAMPLE 2 To find the number of vertices, notice that there are5 vertices around each pentagonal wall, and there are no other vertices. So, the frame of the house has 10 vertices. Use Euler’s Theorem to find the number of edges. F + V = E + 2 Euler’s Theorem 7 + 10 = E + 2 Substitute known values. 15 = E Solve for E.

  3. Find the number of faces, vertices, and edges of the regular octahedron. Check your answer using Euler’s Theorem. Use Euler’s Theorem with Platonic solids EXAMPLE 3 SOLUTION By counting on the diagram, the octahedron has 8 faces, 6 vertices, and 12 edges. Use Euler’s Theorem to check. F + V = E + 2 Euler’s Theorem 8 + 6 = 12 + 2 Substitute. 14 = 14 This is a true statement. So, the solution checks.

  4. a. b. EXAMPLE 4 Describe cross sections Describe the shape formed by the intersection of the plane and the cube.

  5. c. EXAMPLE 4 Describe cross sections SOLUTION a. The cross section is a square. b. The cross section is a rectangle. c. The cross section is a trapezoid.

  6. for Examples 2, 3, and 4 GUIDED PRACTICE 4. Find the number of faces, vertices, and edges of the regular dodecahedron on page 796. Check your answer using Euler’s Theorem. SOLUTION Counting on the diagram, the dodecahedron has 12 faces, 20 vertices, and 30 edges. Use Euler’s theorem to Check F + V = E + 2 Euler’s theorem 12 + 20 = 30 + 2 Substitute 32 = 32 This is a true statement so, the solution check
