The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of different geometric shapes. It starts with finding the volume of a rectangular solid using the formula length × width × height, resulting in 144 cubic meters. Next, it covers calculating the volume of a cube by cubing the side length, resulting in 1331 cubic meters. Finally, it demonstrates how to find a missing dimension (height) when given the volume, length, and width, confirming the result by checking the calculation.
