1 Space Figures and Cross Sections

2 Polyhedra A polyhedron is a three- dimensional figure whose surfaces are polygons. Each polygon is a face of the polyhedron. An edge is a segment that is formed by the intersection of two faces. A vertex is a point where three or more edges intersect. A regular polyhedron is one where all the faces are congruent regular polygons.

3 Identifying Vertices, Edges, and Faces  How many vertices, edges, and faces are in each polyhedron?

4 Cross Sections A cross section is the intersection of a solid and a plane.  What is the cross section formed by the plane and the solid?

5 Space Figures and Cross Sections Lesson 11-1 Notes 11-1 Euler is pronounced “Oiler.” Reading Math

6 Use Euler’s Formula to find the number of edges on a solid with 6 faces and 8 vertices. F + V = E + 2Euler’s Formula 6 + 8 = E + 2Substitute the number of faces and vertices. 12 = ESimplify. A solid with 6 faces and 8 vertices has 12 edges. Space Figures and Cross Sections Lesson 11-1 Quick Check Additional Examples 11-1 Using Euler’s Formula

7 Use Euler’s Formula to solve. 2. A polyhedron with 12 vertices and 30 edges has how many faces?

8 Using Euler’s Formula How many vertices, edges, and faces does the polyhedron have? Use your results to verify Euler’s Formula. F = 8 V = 12 E = 18 F + V = E + 2 8 + 12 = 18 + 2 20 = 20

9 Example For each, find the missing number
