Transcribed Image Text:A snub cube is a polyhedron with 38 faces, 6 of which are square, the remaining 32
being triangles. How many edges does a snub cube have? How many vertices?
3d model from wikipedia
Answer: We will use Euler's formula. Let the number of vertices be v, the number
of edges be e and the number of faces be f. We have f = 38.
We first determine the number of edges. We have 6 square faces with 6 × 4 = 24
sides and 32 triangles with 3 × 32 = 96 sides. Each edge is formed by exactly two
sides joined together so we have e =
60 edges.
24+96

We now use Euler's formula to determine the number of vertices:
v=e+f=2=v-60 +38
So v 60+ 2 - 38 = 24.
