The video tutorial explains how to determine if a triangle is right, acute, or obtuse using the Pythagorean theorem. It describes the process of comparing the sum of the squares of the legs to the square of the hypotenuse. If the sum is less than the hypotenuse, the triangle is obtuse; if greater, it is acute; and if equal, it is a right triangle. An example calculation is provided, showing that a triangle with sides 10, 12, and 13 is acute.
