Calculating Volume of Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of water displaced by marbles in a fish tank. It begins by describing the dimensions of Mario's fish tank, a right rectangular prism, and visualizing it. The tutorial then discusses how the water level changes when marbles are added and removed, leading to a drop in water level. The main focus is on calculating the volume of water displaced by the marbles, using the dimensions of the tank and the change in water height. The tutorial provides a detailed, step-by-step calculation process, resulting in a final volume of 56.16 cubic centimeters.
