Exploring Volume and Surface Area of Polygonal Prisms

The video tutorial explores the concepts of volume and surface area for polygonal prisms, including hexagonal and triangular prisms. It provides formulas and examples for calculating volume by multiplying the base area by height and explains surface area as the sum of all face areas. The tutorial includes practice problems to reinforce understanding.

What is the formula to calculate the volume of any prism?

• Volume = Base Area x Height

• Volume = Base Area - Height

• Volume = Base Area + Height

• Volume = (Base Area x Height) / 2
