The video tutorial explains how to find the magnitude of a vector using the concept of a right triangle. It starts by introducing the right triangle and then moves on to finding the magnitude by calculating the change in y and x. The tutorial further explains how to use component form for easier calculation, resulting in the magnitude being the square root of the sum of squares of the components. The video concludes with a discussion on notation, emphasizing the use of double absolute value symbols for magnitude.
