Math Problem Statement
Solution
The degree of a vertex in a graph is determined by the number of edges that are directly connected to it. In the provided image, we are analyzing vertex . To calculate the degree of :
-
Count all edges connected to :
- Visually inspect and count all lines (edges) emanating from .
-
Verify completeness:
- Ensure all other vertices are connected to .
The graph appears to be a complete graph, where each vertex is connected to every other vertex. In a complete graph with vertices, each vertex has a degree of .
Here, the graph has vertices (), so the degree of is:
The degree of vertex is 6.
