This video tutorial covers the calculation of volumes for both rectangular and triangular prisms. It explains the concept of volume as a measure of space in cubic units and provides formulas for calculating the volume of these prisms. The tutorial includes examples of finding volumes of different prisms and compares the volumes of various containers to determine which holds more. The video emphasizes understanding the dimensions and base area in volume calculations.

What is the correct formula to calculate the volume of a triangular prism?

• Volume = (Base Area x Height)/2

• Volume = 1/2 x Length x Width x Height

• Volume = Base Area x Height

• Volume = Length x Width x Height

If a rectangular prism and a triangular prism have the same base area and height, how do their volumes compare?

• The triangular prism has twice the volume

• The rectangular prism has twice the volume

• The triangular prism has half the volume

• They have the same volume
