Question
**Question 5: Euler Circuit Determination**

Determine if the graph contains an Euler circuit. If so, identify an Euler circuit on the graph by numbering the sequence of edges in the order traveled. If not, explain.

**Graph Description:**

The graph is a representation of a cube. It consists of 8 vertices and 12 edges.

- **Vertices:** Each vertex is placed at the corner of the cube structure.
- **Edges:** Connect the vertices forming the cube shape. The edges connect in a 3D framework with four vertices on the top square face and four on the bottom square face.

**Explanation:**

To determine if the graph contains an Euler circuit, recall that an Euler circuit exists if all vertices have even degrees. In this graph:

1. Each vertex is connected to 3 other vertices (since it’s a corner of a cube).
2. Thus, each vertex has a degree of 3, which is odd.

Since all vertices have odd degrees, the graph does **not** contain an Euler circuit.
