Calculating Volume and Area of Prisms

The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of prisms using a consistent formula. It begins with an introduction to the concept of volume and the formula V = B * h, where B is the base area and h is the height. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the base area for a rectangular prism by multiplying its length and width. Finally, it shows how to find the volume by multiplying the base area by the height, concluding with an example calculation.
