The video tutorial explains the sum of angles in various polygons, starting with triangles, where the sum is always 180 degrees. It then moves on to quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons, explaining how to calculate their angle sums by dividing them into triangles using diagonals. The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees, in a pentagon is 540 degrees, and in a hexagon is 720 degrees. The tutorial emphasizes understanding these concepts through drawing and calculating.
