The video tutorial explains how to solve a 30-60-90 triangle problem by finding the long leg and hypotenuse. It starts with the given short leg and uses the properties of the triangle to calculate the other sides. The long leg is found by multiplying the short leg by the square root of 3, and the hypotenuse is found by multiplying the short leg by the square root of 2. The tutorial also covers simplifying the expression for the long leg.
