  2. B
    16
  3. C
    12
  4. D
    24

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

By definition, a regular dodecahedron has 12 pentagonal faces.So, Number of faces () = 12.Given, Number of vertices () = 20.We can apply Euler's polyhedron formula to determine the number of edges ():

Substitute the values of and :



Hence, a dodecahedron has 30 edges.
