Understanding the Volume of a Cube

The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a cube using the prism formula. It begins with an introduction to cubes, describing their properties. The tutorial then applies the prism formula, which involves calculating the base area and multiplying it by the height. For cubes, this simplifies to the side length cubed. The video concludes with a review of the steps and emphasizes the importance of understanding the formula's derivation from the prism formula.
