Answer:

6 Vertices

Step-by-step explanation:

The Euler Formula states that for any polyhedron, if you add together the number of faces(F) and vertices(V), and subtract the number of edges(E), the answer is always two:

F + V - E = 2

8 + V - 12 = 2

∴ V = 2 - 8 + 12 = 6

Hi

Use Euler's formula for this for a 3D figure. F + V = E + 2, where F is the number of faces, V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, +2! You have enough info to fill in the formula to find that the number of vertices is 6.

Albert bought 2 pounds of catfish and 2 pounds of salmon

Let c represent the amount of catfish in pounds and s represent the amount of salmon in pounds.

He spent a total of $12 on salmon and catfish and bought a total of 4 pounds. Hence:

c + s = 4 (1)

4c + 2s = 12 (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

c = 2, s = 2
