The video tutorial explains the concept of density as a quantity per unit area, using a football field example to illustrate the idea. It then presents a worked example involving the town of Tigersville, which has a population density of 13 cats per square kilometer. The tutorial guides viewers through calculating the area of an isosceles trapezoid representing the town and uses this to determine the total number of cats. The video concludes with a detailed calculation, resulting in a total of 1,872 cats in Tigersville.
