How to Find the Volume of a Composite Figure

The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a composite figure composed of a cube and a right triangular prism. It begins by identifying the shapes and using a math reference sheet to find the formulas for their volumes. The tutorial calculates the volume of the triangular prism using the formula for the area of a triangle and the height of the prism. It then calculates the volume of the cube using the formula for a cube's volume. Finally, it combines the two volumes to find the total volume of the composite figure, resulting in the final answer.
