According to Euler's theorem, what is the relationship between faces, vertices, and edges in a polyhedron?

• Faces + Edges = Vertices + 2

• Faces + Vertices = Edges + 3

• Faces + Vertices = Edges + 2

• Faces + Edges = Vertices + 3

If a polyhedron has 6 faces, 8 vertices, how many edges does it have according to Euler's theorem?

• 10

• 12

• 16

• 14

What is a common error when applying Euler's theorem?

• Ignoring the height

• Switching vertices and edges

• Forgetting the base shape

• Miscounting faces
