Understanding Rectangular Prisms and Area

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism. It begins with an introduction to the concept of surface area and then demonstrates how to calculate the area of each face of the prism: top, bottom, front, back, and sides. The tutorial uses fractions and improper fractions to perform calculations and concludes by summing up all the areas to find the total surface area of the prism.
