Exercise 10.3 : Solutions of Questions on Page Number : 166
Q1 : Can a polyhedron have for its faces
(i) 3 triangles? (ii) 4 triangles?
(iii) a square and four triangles?
Answer :
(i) No, such a polyhedron is not possible. A polyhedron has minimum 4 faces.
(ii) Yes, a triangular pyramid has 4 triangular faces.
(iii) Yes, a square pyramid has a square face and 4 triangular faces.
Q2 : Is it possible to have a polyhedron with any given number of faces? (Hint: Think of a pyramid).
Answer :
A polyhedron has a minimum of 4 faces.
Q3 : Which are prisms among the following?
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
Answer :
(i) It is not a polyhedron as it has a curved surface. Therefore, it will not be a prism also.
(ii) It is a prism.
(iii) It is not a prism. It is a pyramid.
(iv) It is a prism.
Q4 : (i) How are prisms and cylinders alike?
(ii) How are pyramids and cones alike?
Answer :
(i) A cylinder can be thought of as a circular prism i.e., a prism that has a circle as its base.
(ii) A cone can be thought of as a circular pyramid i.e., a pyramid that has a circle as its base.
Q5 : Is a square prism same as a cube? Explain.
Answer :
A square prism has a square as its base. However, its height is not necessarily same as the side of the square. Thus, a square prism can also be a cuboid.
Q6 : Verify Euler’s formula for these solids.
(i)
(ii)
Answer :
(i) Number of faces = F = 7
Number of vertices = V = 10
Number of edges = E = 15
We have, F + V – E = 7 + 10 – 15 = 17 – 15 = 2
Hence, Euler’s formula is verified.
(ii) Number of faces = F = 9
Number of vertices = V = 9
Number of edges = E = 16
F + V – E = 9 + 9 – 16 = 18 – 16 = 2
Hence, Euler’s formula is verified.
Q7 : Using Euler’s formula, find the unknown.
| Faces | ? | 5 | 20 |
| Vertices | 6 | ? | 12 |
| Edges | 12 | 9 | ? |
Answer :
By Euler’s formula, we have
F + V – E = 2
(i) F + 6 – 12 = 2
F – 6 = 2
F = 8
(ii) 5 + V – 9 = 2
V – 4 = 2
V = 6
(iii) 20 + 12 – E = 2
32 – E = 2
E = 30
Thus, the table can be completed as
| Faces | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| Vertices | 6 | 6 | 12 |
| Edges | 12 | 9 |
Q8 : Can a polyhedron have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices?Answer :
Number of faces = F = 10
Number of edges = E = 20
Number of vertices = V = 15
Any polyhedron satisfies Euler’s Formula, according to which, F + V – E = 2
For the given polygon,
F + V – E = 10 + 15 – 20 = 25 – 20 = 5 ≠ 2
Since Euler’s formula is not satisfied, such a polyhedron is not possible.
