Master the foundational theory for calculating the surface area and volume of 3D prisms! This video defines key terms and concepts in geometry:

• Prisms: Identify prisms using their two opposite, congruent faces.

• Surface Area: Understand it as the combined area of all faces (exposed and hidden).

• Volume: Learn the "stacking method" to conceptualize volume and why units are cubed .

• Nets: Define nets as 2D configurations that fold into 3D shapes.

• Non-Prisms: Understand why cylinders and pyramids are not prisms.
