(a) By Euler's formula,
F + V - E = 2
Substituting the given values
10 + 15 - 20 = 35 - 20 =15 which is not equal to 2.
A solid needs tosatisfythe Euler's formulato be called a polyhedron.
⇒ Apolyhedron cannot have 10 faces, 20 edges and 15 vertices.
(b) The shapes of the shadows of these figures will be as follows.
(i) A ball
The shape of the shadow of a ball will be a circle.
(ii) A cylindrical pipe
The shape of the shadow of a circular pipe will be a rectangle.
(iii) A book
The shape of the shadow of a book will be a rectangle.

The key feature of a sphere is that every point on the surface of a sphere is equidistantfrom the centre.
The normal definition of faces, vertices and edges are not appropriate for a sphere because itis not a polyhedron.

(a) Sphere, cone and cylinder are not polyhedrons.
Sphere: Sphere has only one curved face and no polygons as faces. So it is not apolyhedron.
Cone: Cone has one circular face and the remaining part is a curved surface. So it is not apolyhedron.
Cylinder:Cylinderhas two circular faces and the remaining part is a curved surface. So it is not apolyhedron.

We need a square with same side length as that of the triangle. The resultant solid is known as a square pyramid.
Question 68. There are 18 boxes on a shelf.
(a) How many boxes in total can be kept on the shelf without leaving any space?
(b) If the length and height of the shelf are doubled, how many boxes can be kept on the shelf now without leaving any space?
(c) If the length is halved and height of the shelf is doubled, how many boxes can be kept on the shelf now without leaving any space?
(d) If the length is doubled and height of the shelf is halved, how many boxes can be kept on the shelf now without leaving any space?

From visual estimation, each column contains 4 boxes.
(a) 6 columns can be fit in the shelf.
In the 5th column, there is space for 2 more boxes.
and in the 6th column, there is space for 4 boxes.
∴ Number of boxes on the full shelf = 18 + 2 + 4 = 24 boxes
(b) If the length of the shelf is doubled, the shelf can have 12 columns.
If the height of the shelf is doubled, then each column can have 8 boxes.
∴ Total number of boxes on the full new shelf:
= 12×8
= 96 boxes
(c)If the length of the shelf is halved, the shelf can have 3 columns.
If the height of the shelf is doubled, then each column can have 8 boxes
∴ Total number of boxes on the full new shelf:
= 3×8
= 24 boxes
(d) If the length of the shelf is doubled, the shelf can have 12 columns.
If the height of the shelf is doubled, then each column can have 4 boxes.
∴ Total number of boxes on the full new shelf:
= 12×4
= 48 boxes

(a) Edge is defined as the line segment where two faces of a polyhedron meet. A cylinder has no such line segments. Therefore, it has 0 edges.
(b)There are no vertices in a sphere as there are no sharp corners in a sphere.
(c)The figure which has all the three dimensions, viz. length, breadth and height, equal is called a cube. Therefore, the given figure is a cube.
