The video tutorial explains how to find the angle between a vector and the positive x-axis. It covers the use of tangent to calculate the angle theta, the role of inverse tangent, and the importance of considering the vector's quadrant. The tutorial emphasizes adjusting angles based on their quadrant to ensure accurate calculations, and it demonstrates how to convert negative angles to positive ones.
