Q. A playground has a dome climber for kids to play on. The geodesic dome is made of 3535 triangles and 11 decahedron base. It has 2626 vertices. How many of the metal rods are needed to build the dome climber? (How many edges)
  1. Counting Triangles and Edges: Each triangle has 33 edges, but each edge is shared by 22 triangles. So, we need to count the edges of the triangles and then divide by 22 to avoid double-counting.\newlineCalculation: 3535 triangles ×3\times 3 edges per triangle =105= 105 edges. Then, 105105 edges /2=52.5/ 2 = 52.5 edges.
