The video tutorial explains how to calculate the sum of interior angles in a polygon using the formula (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides. It further discusses how to find the measure of one interior angle in a regular polygon by dividing the sum by the number of sides. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of the polygon being regular, meaning all angles are equal, for this calculation. The video concludes with a recap of the formula and a quick example.
