Two metrics on the same set are said to be topologically equivalent of they have the same open sets. So if an open subset, U contained in M is open with respect to one metric if and only if it is open with respect to the other metric. Another way to think of this is two objects are topologically equivalent if one object can be continuously deformed to the other. To be more precise, a homemorphism, f, between two topological spaces is a continuous bijective map with a continuos inverse. If such a map exists between two spaces, the are topologically equivalent.

What is leonhard euler's rule for corners edges and faces?

For a simply connected convex polyhedron , that is, shapes that are topologically equivalent to a sphere, F - E + V = 2 where F = faces, E = edges and V = vertices. For shapes that are topologically equivalent to a sphere with one hole in it (torus or doughnut shape), F - E + V = 0 For shapes that are topologically equivalent to a sphere with two holes in it F - E + V = -2 For shapes that are topologically equivalent to a sphere with three holes in it F - E + V = -4 and so on.


If you have twenty vertices and thirty edges how many faces do you have?

Without further information, there is no unique answer. If the surface is topologically equivalent to a sphere, then the answer is 12. (chi = 2) If the surface is topologically equivalent to a torus (donut), then the answer is 10. (chi = 0) Given the Euler number of the surface, chi, F = chi - V + E, where F is the number of faces, V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges.

Why is a cylinder and a Mobius strip NOT topologically equivalent?

A cylinder and a Möbius strip are not topologically equivalent because they have different properties regarding their boundaries and orientability. A cylinder has two distinct edges (boundaries) and is orientable, meaning it is possible to distinguish a "left" side from a "right" side. In contrast, a Möbius strip has only one edge and is non-orientable, meaning if you travel along its surface, you can end up on the "opposite" side without ever crossing an edge. These fundamental differences in structure prevent the two shapes from being transformed into one another through continuous deformation.
