The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a 3D shape using a familiar xy axis laid flat on the ground. The base is a circle with the equation x^2 + y^2 = 16, and the cross sections are equilateral triangles. The tutorial guides through the process of setting up the integral to calculate the volume, emphasizing the importance of understanding the coordinate system and the relationship between x and y. The final volume is calculated using integration, with a focus on simplifying the process by recognizing properties of definite integrals.
