Surface Area and Panel Calculations

The video tutorial guides viewers through calculating the surface area of a prism. It begins with instructions to download or print a PDF for reference. The tutorial then details the process of calculating the areas of the front, back, top, base, and side panels of the prism. Each section provides step-by-step instructions and calculations, culminating in the total surface area. The video encourages viewers to pause and try calculations themselves, reinforcing learning through practice.
