The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area of a sector in a circle with a given central angle. It starts by introducing the circle's total area and the sector's central angle. The tutorial then demonstrates how to use the ratio of the central angle to the total degrees in a circle to find the sector's area. Finally, it simplifies the calculation using fractions to arrive at the final area of the sector.
