In this video, Mario from Mario's Math Tutoring explains how to find the surface area of prisms and cylinders. He begins by introducing the concept of surface area and the similarities between prisms and cylinders. For prisms, he describes the formula involving the area and perimeter of the base, and demonstrates with a square prism example. For cylinders, he explains the formula using the area of the circles and the circumference for the lateral area, providing a detailed example. The video aims to simplify the process of calculating surface area for these shapes.
