Surface Area and Volume of Prisms

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the surface area of a triangular prism, specifically a right triangle. It begins by identifying the five faces of the prism, including two triangular and three rectangular faces. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the area of each face using appropriate formulas: base times height divided by two for triangles, and length times width for rectangles. Finally, it sums up the areas of all faces to find the total surface area, emphasizing the importance of labeling the units as squared.
