Finding the Volume of Complex Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of complex rectangular prisms by deconstructing them into simpler prisms and using the volume formula. It highlights common mistakes, such as overgeneralizing the formula and forgetting hidden layers. The tutorial also presents an alternative method using subtraction to find the volume. Through examples, it demonstrates both methods, emphasizing the importance of understanding different approaches to solve volume problems.
