The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a shape using the formula for volume, which involves multiplying the area of the base (Big B) by the height. The base is a trapezoid, and its area is calculated using the formula: 1/2 * (base one + base two) * height. The tutorial walks through the steps of finding the area of the trapezoid, solving for Big B, and then using it to find the volume in cubic inches.
