Finding Volume of Composite Figures: Additive Property of Volume

The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a composite three-dimensional figure composed of two rectangular prisms. It begins by defining volume and explaining how to calculate it for rectangular prisms. The tutorial then discusses how to handle more complex figures by decomposing them into simpler shapes. It demonstrates methods for cutting figures vertically and horizontally to facilitate volume calculation. The video concludes with a step-by-step calculation of the volume of a composite figure, emphasizing the importance of determining accurate dimensions and using the correct formulas.
