The video tutorial provides a practical example of using trigonometry to calculate the height of a cliff. Jackie, who is on a boat, measures the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff 500 meters away. The tutorial explains how to use the tangent ratio to find the height of the cliff, demonstrating the calculation process step-by-step. The final result is rounded to the nearest meter. Additional resources and subscription information are provided at the end.
