Computing Volume Using Dimensions and Formulas

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism using two methods. Initially, it reviews the standard formula of multiplying length, width, and height. Then, it introduces an alternative method that involves calculating the area of the base and multiplying it by the height, which can be more efficient. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the concept of volume and provides practice examples to reinforce learning.
