Calculating Volumes of Planters

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the total volume of soil in three planters, each represented as a prism. The instructor guides through the process of calculating the volume of each planter by multiplying its dimensions. Planter A's volume is calculated first, followed by Planter B. For Planter C, the unknown dimension is determined by subtracting the known dimensions from the total length. Finally, the volumes of all three planters are summed to find the total volume in cubic inches.
