The video tutorial explains how to construct a triangle when given certain information, focusing on the side-side-angle case, known as the ambiguous case. It discusses the potential outcomes of having one solution, no solution, or two triangles. The tutorial demonstrates using the Law of Sines to solve for angles and explains why attempting to find the inverse sine of a value greater than one results in an error, indicating no triangle can be formed.
