Volume and Properties of Prisms

The video tutorial covers solid geometry, focusing on calculating the volume of a triangular prism and a cube. It begins with an introduction to different 3D shapes, such as triangular prisms and pyramids. The tutorial then provides a step-by-step guide to finding the volume of a triangular prism using its base, height, and length. Finally, it explains how to calculate the volume of a cube by multiplying the length of its sides.

What is a characteristic feature of a triangular prism?

• It has a circular base.

• It is made entirely of squares.

• It has a hexagonal base.

• It has two triangular faces and rectangular sides.
