Volume of Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial covers finding the volume of rectangular prisms without using unit cubes. It introduces the concept of volume, explains the role of unit cubes, and presents two formulas for calculating volume: area of the base times height and length times width times height. The tutorial includes a step-by-step example problem, a guided practice problem, and an independent problem-solving exercise. The lesson emphasizes understanding the concept of volume rather than just memorizing formulas.
