The video tutorial explains the concept of regular polygons, focusing on triangles and quadrilaterals. It covers the types of triangles: equilateral, isosceles, and scalene, and how to calculate their angles. The tutorial also defines regular polygons as having equal side lengths and angles, and demonstrates how to calculate the sum of interior angles using the formula (n-2)*180, where n is the number of sides. The video emphasizes understanding the properties of regular polygons and their applications in geometry.
