The video tutorial explains the concept of interior angles in polygons. It starts with triangles, where the sum of interior angles is 180 degrees, and extends the concept to quadrilaterals, pentagons, and general polygons. By dividing polygons into triangles, the video demonstrates how to calculate the sum of interior angles for any polygon using the formula (s-2) * 180 degrees, where s is the number of sides.
