Given:

(1) Face:

Edges: 11

Vertices: 8

(2) Face: 8

Edges

Vertices: 3

Required:

To find the missing number by using the Euler formula:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Euler formula is given as:


V-E+F=2

Where V = vertices

E = edges

F = faces

Substitute the given values.

(1)


\begin{gathered} 8-11+F=2 \\ -3+F=2 \\ F=2+3 \\ F=5 \end{gathered}

(2)


\begin{gathered} 3-E+8=2 \\ 11-E=2 \\ E=11-2 \\ E=9 \end{gathered}

(3)


\begin{gathered} 16-24+F=2 \\ -8+F=2 \\ F=8+2 \\ F=10 \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

(1) F= 5

(2) E =9

(3) F=10
