how much faces does a triangular prism have have have

Mathematicians have derived Euler's formula for these and similar shapes. It states that for a polyhedron the number of faces plus the number of vertices minus the number of edges is always two. For a triangular prism, this formula holds true: (5 + 6 - 9 = 2).
