The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a cube given its diagonal length. It uses the 45-45-90 triangle rule to determine the side length of the cube. The diagonal of the cube is 6 units, and the tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the side length by dividing the hypotenuse by the square root of 2. The process of rationalizing the expression is shown, resulting in a side length of 3√2. Finally, the video calculates the volume by cubing the side length, resulting in a volume of 54√2 cubic units.
