Understanding Rectangular Prisms and Nets

This video tutorial covers the basics of 2D and 3D geometry, focusing on the connection between them through the concept of nets. It explains the features of a rectangular prism, including its angles and dimensions, and demonstrates how to calculate its volume. The video also introduces the concept of nets, showing how they are used to represent 3D objects in 2D form for manufacturing purposes. Finally, it explains how to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism using its net.
