The video tutorial explains how to find the measure of one exterior angle of a regular polygon. It emphasizes the importance of regular polygons, where all sides and angles are equal. The tutorial highlights that the sum of exterior angles of any regular polygon is always 360 degrees. To find an individual exterior angle, divide 360 by the number of sides. An example with a 12-sided polygon is used to illustrate this calculation, resulting in each exterior angle measuring 30 degrees. The video concludes with a clarification on the example used.
