The video tutorial covers the concept of composite figures, which are shapes made up of multiple simple geometric shapes like rectangles, triangles, and circles. It explains how to calculate the area of these figures by dividing them into simpler shapes, finding the area of each, and then summing them up. The tutorial also discusses alternative methods for calculating areas and compares the results. Additionally, it reviews basic geometric shapes and their area formulas, and applies these concepts to solve real-world problems, such as calculating the cost of carpeting a room or replacing window glass.
