The video tutorial explains the Pythagoras theorem through an engaging activity. It begins with an introduction to the theorem, stating that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The tutorial then guides viewers through drawing a right-angled triangle and constructing squares on each side. Using cutouts, the video demonstrates how to create two figures that visually verify the theorem. By comparing the areas of these figures, the video confirms that a squared plus b squared equals c squared, thus proving the theorem. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the activity.
