The video explores how to find the sum of interior angles in any polygon. It starts with known sums for triangles and quadrilaterals, then generalizes the concept to polygons with more sides. By dividing polygons into non-overlapping triangles, the video derives a formula: (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. This formula helps calculate the sum of interior angles for any polygon, including irregular ones.
