Volume and Area Calculations

This tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of right prisms and cylinders. It begins with the formula for the volume of a right prism, which is the area of the base times the height. An example using a rectangular right prism is provided, demonstrating how to find the area of the base and multiply it by the height to get the volume. The tutorial then moves on to cylinders, explaining that the volume is also the area of the base times the height. The area of the circular base is calculated using the formula pi times the radius squared, and this is multiplied by the height to find the volume.
