The video tutorial explains two methods to find the area of a circle using the method of exhaustion. The first method involves peeling off circumferences to form a triangle, while the second method splits the circle into wedge-shaped pieces to form a rectangle. Both methods ultimately demonstrate that the area of a circle is πr². The tutorial compares the two visualizations and invites viewers to share their preferences.
