Understanding Triangular Prisms

In this video, Mr. Jay explains the properties of a triangular prism, focusing on counting its faces, edges, and vertices. He begins by identifying the five faces, then moves on to the nine edges, and finally counts the six vertices. The video provides a clear and structured approach to understanding these geometric properties, making it easier for students to grasp the concepts.
