Finding Volume of Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism. It begins with an introduction to the concept of volume, followed by a step-by-step guide to calculating the volume of a rectangular prism using its dimensions. The tutorial then derives a general formula for finding the volume of any prism by multiplying the area of the base by the height. An example calculation is provided to demonstrate the application of the formula, resulting in a volume of 105 cubic inches for a given rectangular prism.
