    Exploring Solids

    Section 12.1

    Activator
    Find

    the area of the shaded region. Round to two decimal places.

    Aim
    How

    do we use properties of polyhedra? How do we use Eulers Theorem in real-life situations?

    Math in Real Life

    Using Properties of Polyhedra


    A polyhedron is a solid that is bounded by polygons, called faces that enclose a single region of space. An edge of a polyhedron is a line segment formed by the intersection of two faces.

    Using Properties of Polyhedra


    A

    vertex of a polyhedron is a point where three or more edges meet. The plural of polyhedron is polyhedra, or polyhedrons.

    Example 1

    Decide whether the solid is a polyhedron. If so, count the number of faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron.

    a. This is a polyhedron. It has 5 faces, 6 vertices, and 9 edges. b. This is not a polyhedron. Some of its faces are not polygons. c. This is a polyhedron. It has 7 faces, 7 vertices, and 12 edges.

    Using Properties of Polyhedra

    A polyhedron is regular if all of its faces are congruent regular polygons. A polyhedron is convex if any two points on its surface can be connected by a segment that lies entirely inside or on the polyhedron. If this segment goes outside the polyhedron, then the polyhedron is nonconvex or concave.

    Checkpoint 1
    Is

    the octahedron convex? Is it regular?

    a) convex, regular b) convex, nonregular c) nonconvex, nonregular

    Using Properties of Polyhedra


    Imagine a plane slicing through a solid. The intersection of the plane and the solid is called a cross-section. For instance, the diagram shows that the intersection of a plane and a sphere is a circle.

    Checkpoint 2

    Using Eulers Formula

    What do you notice about the number of sides and the number of vertices on these Platonic solids? Discuss and write down.

    Using Eulers Formula


    Notice

    that the sum of the number of faces and vertices is two more than the number of edges in the solids above. This result was proved by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (17071783).

    Eulers Theorem
    The

    number of faces (F), vertices (V), and edges (E) of a polyhedron are related by the formula F+V = E+ 2.

    Checkpoint 3
    The

    solid has 14 faces; 8 triangles and 6 octagons. How many vertices does the solid have?
