The video tutorial covers the basics of right triangles, focusing on the Pythagorean theorem and the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, and tangent. It explains how these functions are used to compare the sides of a triangle, with sine comparing the opposite side to the hypotenuse, cosine comparing the adjacent side to the hypotenuse, and tangent comparing the opposite side to the adjacent side. The tutorial provides examples of calculating these ratios and emphasizes understanding the relationships between the sides of a triangle.
