The video tutorial explains the concept of chords in a circle, focusing on the longest chord, known as the diameter. It describes how the diameter is the longest chord, double the radius, and passes through the center. The tutorial also explores how to find the center of a circle using the diameter and demonstrates the unique property of diameters intersecting at the center. Additionally, it discusses the challenge of making three equal-length chords intersect at a common point, concluding that only diameters can achieve this.
