Volume and Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism
In this lesson, we learn how to calculate the surface area and volume of a rectangular prism. To find the surface area, all sides of the prism are added together, while the volume is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the prism. The dimensions of the prism are used to find the area of each face, which is then used to calculate the total surface area, while the area of the base is multiplied by the height to find the volume.
Finding the volume and surface area of a rectangular prism
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
