The video tutorial covers Tolus's Theorem, which states that if a segment is a diameter of a circle, any angle formed at a point on the circle is a right angle. The converse of this theorem is also discussed, stating that if a right triangle is inscribed in a circle, the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle. The video demonstrates how to find the center of a circle using this converse theorem and provides a proof by constructing a rectangle and using properties of parallelograms and rectangles.
