The video tutorial explains the relationship between sine and cosine ratios of complementary angles in a right-angled triangle. It demonstrates that the sine of an angle equals the cosine of its complementary angle and vice versa. An example problem is provided to illustrate these concepts, showing how to find the value of an angle using these relationships. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the key points about complementary angles and their trigonometric properties.
