The video tutorial explains the concept of volume, focusing on rectangular prisms. It begins by introducing the idea of volume as a measure of 3-dimensional space, contrasting it with area, which is 2-dimensional. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism by multiplying its length, width, and height. It explains why volume is measured in cubic units and provides a formula for calculating volume. The video includes an example problem to illustrate the calculation process and emphasizes the importance of writing down the formula. Finally, it concludes with a brief mention of the next topic, which involves finding a missing side when given the volume and two dimensions.
