The video tutorial covers solving a quiz question involving vectors. It starts with defining vectors and calculating the direction angle using the arc tangent. The tutorial then explains how to find unit vectors orthogonal to a given vector B. It proceeds to calculate the area using vector norms and angles. Finally, it demonstrates solving for values of K that result in obtuse angles between vectors, using dot products and graphing techniques.
