Use Euler's Formula:

V = number of vertices

F = number of faces

E = number of edges

V+F = E+2

or

V+F-E = 2

What is the formula related vertices and edges?

There is not a specific formula fro vertices and edges. The Euler characteristic links the number of vertices, edges AND faces as follows: E + 2 = V + F for a simply connected polyhedron.

Euler.


What do edges and vertices have in relation?

Edges join two vertices. Three or more edges meet at a vertex (it could be two if not in a polyhedron).


Euler's rule for a polyhedron?

It has 6 vertices.


If you know the numbers of faces and vertices in a polyhedron how can you calculate the number of edges with out counting them?

the is a pattern example a rectangular prism has 6 faces , 8 vertices and 12 edges. the pattern is add 2 then add 4 so to calculate you should first find the pattern or if you need more help go to www.math.com.
