Properties of Polyhedra

This video tutorial by Pedro Ítalo introduces Euler's formula, which relates the number of vertices, faces, and edges in a convex polyhedron. The video explains different types of polyhedra, such as prisms and pyramids, and demonstrates how to use Euler's formula to calculate these elements. Through examples and exercises, viewers learn to apply the formula to various polyhedra, including complex ones like dodecahedrons. The tutorial concludes with practical exercises to reinforce understanding.

What is the relationship between vertices, faces, and edges in a convex polyhedron?

• Vertices + Faces = Edges + 2

• Vertices + Edges = Faces - 2

• Vertices + Edges = Faces + 2

• Vertices + Faces = Edges - 2
