This video tutorial by Mrs. Zia covers lessons 21 and 22 on surface area from module 3. It explains how to find the surface area of three-dimensional objects composed of triangles and quadrilaterals using polyhedron nets. The tutorial details the components of right prisms, including bases and lateral faces, and provides methods to calculate the lateral area of various prisms. It also covers factoring expressions using the distributive property and concludes with strategies for finding the surface area of pyramids.
