The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a composite shape resembling a witch hat, consisting of a cone and a rectangular prism. The process is divided into two phases: first, calculating the volume of the cone using the formula 1/3 π r² h, and then calculating the volume of the rectangular prism using the formula length × breadth × height. The tutorial emphasizes rounding the results to the nearest cubic centimeter. Finally, the volumes of both components are combined to find the total volume of the witch hat. Additional resources and subscription information are provided at the end.
