The video tutorial explores the problem of finding the sum of exterior angles of an irregular pentagon. It begins by expressing exterior angles in terms of interior angles, which are supplementary. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the sum of interior angles by dividing the pentagon into triangles. Finally, it concludes with the calculation of the sum of exterior angles, showing that it equals 360 degrees.
