GCSE Maths - Volumes of Cylinders and Prisms #112

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volumes of cylinders and prisms by finding the area of their constant cross-sections and multiplying by their height or length. It provides formulas for both shapes: πR²H for cylinders and 1/2BHL for triangular prisms. The tutorial includes example calculations with specific measurements and discusses other types of prisms, emphasizing that the volume formula remains consistent across different prism types.

What is the total volume of a triangular prism with a base of 5 cm, height of 4 cm, and length of 14 cm?

Explain how the area of the cross-section affects the volume of prisms.
