Understanding Hexagonal Prisms

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to identify and count the faces, edges, and vertices of a hexagonal prism. He begins by counting the eight faces, followed by the 18 edges, and concludes with the 12 vertices. The video provides a clear and step-by-step guide to understanding the geometric properties of a hexagonal prism.
