The video tutorial explains polygons, which are shapes with many sides. It covers the distinction between regular and irregular polygons, where regular polygons have equal side lengths and angles, while irregular ones do not. The tutorial also discusses convex polygons, which bulge outward with angles less than 180 degrees, and concave polygons, which cave inward with angles greater than 180 degrees. Finally, it provides names for polygons based on the number of sides, such as triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and more.
