Graph Theory: Degree of a region

Question

In the given following planar graph, what is the degree of the region R1:

Comments

nitish, what difference does it make if i keep this pendant vertex outside?

---

then degree of inner region will be 4 and that of outer region will be 6

---

As $\sum degree\ of \ region =2*edges$, means each edge will be counted twice in a region.

If edge 'ce' is inside then deg(r1)=6, if it is outside then deg(r1)=4
