Euler's Formula states that:


V-E+F=2

where V is the number of Vertices, E is the number of Edges and F is the number of Faces. We have also been given that the number of vertices is 15 and the number of Edges is 24 . We have been asked to find the number of Faces, F.

The Euler's formula can be rearranged to to isolate F as:


F=2-V+E

Substituting the values we get:


F=2-15+24=11

Thus, option C is the correct option.
