We observed that the Euler characteristic for plane connected graphs is 2. Re call, that in this definition, we count any bounded region as a face and the exterior of the plane graph as an additional face. What is the Euler charac teristic for a plane graph with k different connected components? Prove your claim. You can use the fact that a single plane connected graph has an Euler characteristic of 2
