Volume of Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial explains how to derive and apply the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism. It begins by discussing the process of finding the base area and then multiplying it by the height of the prism. The tutorial emphasizes the formula: base area times height, and suggests applying this method to other rectangular prisms.
