Volume of Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial from MooMooMath and Science explains how to find the volume of a rectangular prism. It introduces the concept of a rectangular prism, describes its properties, and provides two methods for calculating its volume: multiplying length, width, and height, or using the base area and height. The video includes examples comparing volumes of different prisms and solving a word problem. It also demonstrates how to measure dimensions with a ruler to calculate volume. The tutorial concludes with a call to action to subscribe for more math and science videos.
