The video tutorial explains how to calculate the total surface area of a cone. It begins by describing the components of a cone's surface: the curved surface and the base circle. The tutorial then provides the formulas needed to calculate the surface area, which include the area of the circle (πr²) and the area of the curved surface (πrh). An example is given where the radius is 7 cm and the height is 10 cm, using π as 22/7. The tutorial walks through the calculation process, resulting in a total surface area of 374 cm².
