    12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The euler's formula said that

    V + C = E + 2

    Where V is the number of vertices, C is the number of faces and E is the number of edges.

    Adittionally, this convex polyhedron has 14 faces, because there are 6 squares and 8 triangles.

    6 + 8 = 14

    So, replacing C by 14, E by 24 and solving for V, we get:

    V + 14 = 24 + 2

    V = 24 + 2 - 14

    V = 12

    A convex polyhedron has 12 vertices.
