Learning Resources Getting into Solids Prisms Set, Set of 6 (31039)

welcome to math with mr. J in this video I'm going to be covering how to calculate the volume of a composite rectangular prism and if you take a look at your screen you'll see two composite rectangular prisms and we're gonna find the volume of both of those in order to help you get this down now you might remember or maybe you've forgotten this is a quick refresher but the formula for volume that we are going to use is length times width times height and remember volume is the amount of space a three-dimensional object takes up and as you can see these aren't just plain old rectangular prisms they're a little more complex so it takes a couple extra steps but the foundation of finding the volume is still going to be that formula so let's jump right into number one here and when we have composite rectangular prisms the first thing we want to do is cut that figure into two separate rectang
