  1. Faces, Vertices and Edges Slideshow 46, Mathematics Mr Richard Sasaki Room 307

  2. Objectives Recall names of some common 3d Shapes Recall the meaning of face, vertex and edge Be able to count the number of faces, vertices and edges for a polyhedron and use the formula that relates them

  3. Some Simple 3-D Shapes Cylinder Cone Sphere Square-based pyramid Hemisphere

  4. Platonic solids / conVEX regular polyhedrons Cube Tetrahedron Octahedron Dodecahedron Icosahedron

  5. Prisms Triangular Prism Cuboid Hexagonal Prism Pentagonal Prism Octagonal Prism Decagonal Prism Dodecagonal Prism Heptagonal Prism

  6. FaceS We know a face is a flat finite surface on a shape. What is a face? This makes the term easy to use for polyhedra and 2D shapes. But for a sphere…does it have zero faces?

  7. Faces There is some disagreement about curved faces. 3D shapes that aren’t polyhedra don’t follow the laws and cause problems. But for us, a face is defined as a finite flat surface so we will use that definition and think of a sphere as having zero faces.

  8. Vertices and edges Vertex - A point (with zero size) where two or more edges meet. Edge - Defining vertex and edge is a little easier. A line segment dividing two faces. Note: An edge may not always be connected with two vertices. The hemisphere and cone are examples of this.

  10. F + V – E = 2(Euler’s formula) Let’s try a hemisphere. It has face(s). 1 Can you think of a 3D shape where this formula doesn’t work? It has vertex / vertices. 0 1 It has edge(s). Let’s substitute these into the equation. F + V – E = 2 = 0 1 + 0 – 1 ???

  11. F + V – E = ???(Euler’s formula) F + V – E = 2 only works perfectly for shapes that are . convex polyhedra For 3D non-polyhedra, F + V – E may equal 0, 1 or 2 (and sometimes other numbers). This value, we call χ (read as chi.)

  12. 10 15 2 0 0 0 0? 1 1 1 1 7 + 6 – 12 = 1 F + V – E = 6 + 8 – 12 = 2 7 F + V – E = 8 + 6 – 12 = 2 F + 12 – 24 = -2, F = 10 F + V – E = 11 + 18 – 27 = 2 2 + 0 – 2 = 0
