Answer:

  2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

  5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

  = 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

<em>Additional comment</em>

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

  \dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad-bc}{bd}

The gemstone has 22 edges.

We use Euler's formula on this:

F + V - E = 2

Substituting our information, we have:

14 + 10 - E = 2

Combining like terms, 
24 - E = 2

Subtract 24 from both sides:
24 - E - 24 = 2 - 24
-E = -22

Divide both sides by -1:
-E/-1 = -22/-1
E = 22
