Volume Of Prisms And Pyramids: Learn about prisms

The video tutorial transitions from discussing area to exploring volume, focusing on rectangular prisms and pyramids. It explains the concept of volume as a measure of how much space a 3D object occupies, using relatable examples like a sheet of paper and a box. The tutorial defines prisms as 3D shapes with polygonal bases and illustrates different types of prisms, including rectangular, triangular, and hexagonal prisms, highlighting their geometric properties.

What is the primary difference between area and volume?

• Area is only applicable to 3D objects, while volume is for 2D objects.

• Area is measured in cubic units, while volume is in square units.

• Area and volume are essentially the same concepts.

• Area measures the surface, while volume measures the space occupied.

Which of the following best describes a prism?

• A 3D shape with a polygonal base.

• A 2D shape with a circular base.

• A 2D shape with a triangular base.

• A 3D shape with a spherical base.
