Computing Volume: Multiplying the Area of the Base Times the Height

This lesson teaches how to calculate the volume of a prism by multiplying the area of its base by its height. It begins with a review of what a prism is, highlighting its parallel and congruent polygonal bases. The lesson then provides a detailed explanation of how to determine the volume of a prism using its height and base area, with examples to illustrate the process. The method simplifies the calculation by focusing on the base's area and the prism's height, rather than counting individual cubic units.
