A filled triangle is a disk with three vertices, three edges and one two-dimensional topological cell, so . Its simplicial homology has : the filled triangle is contractible, and the three-edge chain cycle is the chain boundary of its face. Keeping only the cycle graph on those three vertices gives and , since that chain cycle no longer bounds a face. The surrounding plane's exterior is not part of either simplicial complex; do not add it to .
