Video Description

When asked how many rectangular faces a hexagonal pyramid has, this man's niece replied "0". This is the correct answer, but the teacher said a hexagonal pyramid has 6 rectangular faces. Maybe she thought the question was about triangular faces? Or maybe hexagonal prisms? When pushed about her answer, the teacher apparently doubled down and offered a nonsensical explanation.
