The video tutorial covers the topic of interior and exterior angles in regular polygons. It introduces a simplified method for calculating these angles, emphasizing the use of 360 degrees divided by the number of sides to find exterior angles, and subtracting this from 180 degrees to find interior angles. The tutorial includes example problems involving a nonagon and an octagon, demonstrating the application of these methods in GRE and GMAT level questions.
