The video tutorial covers the concept of surface area for prisms and pyramids. It begins with an introduction to surface area as the sum of the areas of each face. The tutorial provides detailed calculations for the surface area of a rectangular prism, a triangular prism, and a pyramid, including a triangular pyramid. The instructor emphasizes the importance of listing or drawing each face and calculating their areas individually before summing them up. The video concludes with a reminder to show work and use a calculator if needed.

What is the best method to ensure all faces are accounted for when calculating surface area?

• List and draw each face

• Calculate only visible faces

• Guess the total area

• Ignore the base and top faces
