For example, the imbeddinq of K4 in Figure 5-4 has four regions. The followinq theorem is attributed to both Descdrtes and Euler, independently; we perhaps indicate our preference by calling it the euler polyhedral idcntlty: Thm. 5-11. Let Let be a connected graph imbedded in the sphere, S o . have p vertices and q edges, with r the G G number of regions of the imbedding. Proof _ __ (by induction on for = q for then 1, q): p = 2 Then p - + y r = 2. The result is clearly true and r = 1. Now assume the result holds for all connected graphs with €ewer than q edqcs, and let G be a connected graph with q edges, p vertices, and r regions for an imbedding in So.
