The video tutorial explains the proof that the sum of the exterior angles of a triangle is 360 degrees. It begins by outlining the strategy, emphasizing the relationship between interior and exterior angles as linear pairs. The proof is constructed by adding the linear pairs and using the triangular sum theorem to subtract the interior angles, resulting in the desired sum of 360 degrees for the exterior angles. The tutorial concludes with a step-by-step demonstration of the proof, ensuring clarity and understanding.
