Volume Of Prisms And Pyramids: The formula for finding the volume of a prism and its units

The video tutorial explains the concepts of surface area and volume, focusing on three-dimensional objects like prisms. It introduces the general formula for calculating the volume of any prism, which is the area of the base multiplied by the height. The tutorial then delves into the specific case of rectangular prisms, providing a simple formula: length times width times height. The importance of units in volume measurement is also discussed, with examples like cubic centimeters and their real-life equivalents, such as sugar cubes.
