The video tutorial explains a theorem about the relationship between an exterior angle of a triangle and the sum of its interior opposite angles. It begins with a review of key concepts such as straight angles and the sum of angles in a triangle. The tutorial then defines exterior and interior opposite angles, illustrating the six possible exterior angles in a triangle. The main focus is on proving that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles, using a step-by-step approach without additional construction. The proof is based on the properties of angles and equations, ensuring a clear understanding of the theorem.
