Understanding Square Pyramids

In this video, Mr. Jay explains the geometric properties of a square pyramid, focusing on counting its faces, edges, and vertices. He begins by identifying the five faces, including the square base, then moves on to count the eight edges formed by the intersection of these faces. Finally, he identifies the five vertices where the edges meet. The video concludes with a summary of these properties, reinforcing the understanding of square pyramids.
