The video tutorial introduces trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, and tangent. It explains how these ratios represent relationships in right triangles and demonstrates their use in similar triangles. The tutorial covers the concept of triangle similarity, showing how side lengths are proportional and angles are congruent. It further illustrates the application of trigonometric ratios using a graphing calculator, emphasizing the importance of angle measures in determining these ratios.
