Rectangular Prisms: Volume

The video tutorial explains the concept of volume for rectangular prisms, which are three-dimensional figures with length, width, and height. It introduces two methods for calculating volume: multiplying length, width, and height, or multiplying the base area by the height. The tutorial provides examples with different units and emphasizes the importance of using square units for area and cubic units for volume. It concludes by showing that both volume formulas are essentially the same, as the base area is the product of length and width.
