Identifying the Parts of Three-Dimensional Figures

The video tutorial explains the characteristics of three-dimensional figures, focusing on their faces, edges, vertices, and height. It distinguishes between 3D figures and other geometric shapes, such as lines and polygons. The tutorial delves into the specifics of prisms, highlighting their parallel congruent polygonal bases, and contrasts them with cylinders, which are not prisms due to their circular bases. Through examples, the video guides viewers in identifying prisms and counting their features, such as faces, vertices, and edges.

What is the significance of vertices in three-dimensional figures?

Explain why a cylinder is not considered a prism.
