Volume of Prisms and Cylinders Explained

The video tutorial covers the concept of volume for prisms and cylinders. It explains how to calculate the volume of rectangular and triangular prisms using the formula for the area of the base multiplied by the height. The tutorial also demonstrates how to find the volume of cylinders using the formula pi r squared times height. Several examples are provided to illustrate these calculations, including the use of Rubik's Cubes to visualize volume. The video concludes with a summary and instructions for a related assignment.
