Volume of Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial explains the concept of volume, specifically for rectangular prisms, and how it is measured in cubic units. It introduces two methods for calculating volume: multiplying length, width, and height, and using the area of the base times the height. The tutorial provides a detailed example calculation for each method, demonstrating how to apply these formulas. The video concludes with a brief mention of the next topic, which will cover the volume of composite or complex figures.
