GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Shapes & Area: Square based Pyramid - Explained

The video tutorial explains the properties of a square-based pyramid, focusing on its faces, edges, and vertices. It defines these terms and counts the number of each in the pyramid, concluding that the pyramid has five faces and eight edges. The tutorial provides a clear understanding of these geometric concepts.
