Cubic Polyhedron


 

Now first we must remember the formula: V - E + F = 2

 

Now let us look at V. V is the number of vertices, shown below:

 

 

So V = 8

 

Now let us look at E. E is the number of edges, shown below:

 

 

So E = 12

 

Now let us look at F. F is the number of faces, shown below:

 

This is a close up of three of the faces

 

 

And here are the other three

 

So the number of F = 6

 

To finish up we should plug back into the formula: V - E + F = 2 and solve when V = 8, E = 12, and F = 6...we get 8 - 12 + 6 = 2. And this works
