The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a region in the first quadrant that lies below the graph of y = sqrt(x) and above the graph of y = x^2. It discusses the endpoints where the functions intersect and describes two methods to conceptualize the area: subtracting the area under y = x^2 from the area under y = sqrt(x), or using the definite integral of the difference between the functions. The video then evaluates the integral using the antiderivatives of the functions, resulting in an area of 1/3 square units.
