The video tutorial explains the square root of 10, starting with its simplification using a factor tree, which shows that it cannot be simplified further. It then estimates the square root by comparing it to nearby perfect squares, 9 and 16, suggesting an approximate value of 3.1. The tutorial verifies this estimation using a calculator, which gives a more precise value of 3.162277. The video concludes with a summary of these points and a reminder to be kind.
