6331c62a5aa7b-Solids - Note Afternoon Class

The document discusses different types of 3D solids including square pyramids, triangular prisms, and their properties. It introduces Euler's relationship that the number of vertices + number of faces equals the number of edges + 2 for solids with only plane faces. Examples show how to use the relationship to calculate missing properties of various solids.

Introduction of Solids

 Anobject which has a specific


shape and which occupies a certain
amount of space is called a solid
object.
Square Pyramid
What is a square pyramid?

A solid object with a square base and


four equal triangular faces is called a
square pyramid
Number of Faces

Euler’s Relationship

Number of Vertices + Number of Faces = Number of Edges + 2

V+F=E+2
 This was first presented in the 18th century by a Swiss
mathematician called Leonhard Euler

The above relationship which is true for solids with plane faces
only.

we can’t apply this for sphere , Cone , cylinder


A certain solid has 4 faces and 4 vertices. Find the number
of edges of the solid using Euler’s Relationship.

V+F=E+2

A certain solid has 5 faces and 8 Edges. Find the number of
vertices of the solid using Euler’s Relationship.

V+F=E+2
A certain solid has 8 vertices and 12 Edges. Find the number
of faces of the solid using Euler’s Relationship.

V+F=E+2
A solid is formed by pasting the square face of a square
pyramid to the face of a cube of equal faces. (As shown in
the figure)
