Calculating Volume of Prisms

Mr. Chen introduces the concept of volume, explaining how to calculate it for different 3D shapes. He provides examples using cubes, rectangular prisms, and triangular prisms, demonstrating the formula for volume as base times height. The video emphasizes understanding how much space an object occupies and concludes with a recap of the key points.
