Explanation of proof for planar bipartite graph

401 Views Asked by At

I am supposed to prove that a bipartite planar graph has a vertex of degree at most 3.

I saw this answer. But I am little bit confused.

I do not understand the following part:

For planar bipartite graph with $v>3$ we have

$e≤2v−4$.

How do I know that the statement holds for bipartite graph?
