The video tutorial explains how to solve a triangle problem using the law of sines. It begins with identifying the given acute angle and setting up relationships to find other angles. The instructor demonstrates solving for angle B using sine inverse and highlights the importance of using precise calculations to avoid rounding errors. The concept of ambiguous cases is introduced, explaining how different angles can have the same sine value. Finally, the tutorial concludes with calculating angle C and side C, ensuring all angles and sides are consistent with the triangle's properties.
