The video tutorial covers three SAT math problems. Problem 18 involves finding the average of x, y, and z in terms of k and z by using algebraic substitution. Problem 19 focuses on geometry, specifically calculating the area of a circle using the properties of an equilateral triangle and the Pythagorean theorem. Problem 20 deals with finding integer values of k for which 15 divided by k leaves a remainder of 3, using a brute force approach.
