Normally a polyhedron consists of a number of vertices connected by edges, such that faces (polygons) are formed.
A polyhedron usually has a certain volume.
If there are 2 faces or less, it won't contain a volume, and is considered degenerate.
In this case we don't even have a face - only a single line segment. (Nerd)

So in this case we can say that if the line segment is one of the edges of a polyhedron , then its endpoints are vertices of the polyhedron. Right? (Thinking)

Exactly. (Nod)

Nice... Thank you! (Smile)
