The video tutorial explains Pythagoras' theorem, which applies to right-angled triangles. It details how to calculate the hypotenuse by squaring the two shorter sides, adding them, and taking the square root. The tutorial also covers finding a shorter side by subtracting the square of one side from the square of the hypotenuse and then taking the square root. The process is demonstrated with examples, emphasizing the steps of squaring, adding or subtracting, and square rooting.
