Volume in Cubic Inches and Feet

The video tutorial explains how to measure volume using unit cubes, focusing on cubic inches and cubic feet. It covers the concept of volume as the space inside a three-dimensional figure, using cubes to fill the space. The tutorial demonstrates calculating volume by multiplying dimensions and provides examples with both cubic inches and cubic feet. It also includes exercises on finding the volume of complex shapes by counting unit cubes.
