Exploring Volume of Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial introduces the concept of volume, focusing on rectangular prisms. It explains volume as the space inside an object and provides examples using everyday items like gift boxes and Amazon packages. The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism (length x width x height) is discussed, followed by two detailed examples demonstrating the calculation process. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to reach out with questions.

What does volume measure in an object?

• The space inside the object

• The surface area of the object

• The weight of the object

• The color intensity of the object

What shape is used in the video to explain volume?

• Sphere

• Rectangular prism

• Circle

• Triangle

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism?

• Volume = Length / Width / Height

• Volume = Length x Width x Height

• Volume = Length - Width - Height

• Volume = Length + Width + Height
