The video tutorial by Shampasari at Asan Academy covers the concept of tangents, their properties, and how to apply these properties to solve problems. It begins with a definition of a tangent as a line touching a circle at one point, followed by a discussion of properties such as the maximum number of tangents from an external point, equal length of tangents, and the perpendicularity of tangents to the radius. The video also demonstrates the congruency of triangles formed by tangents and the circle's center. An example problem is solved using these concepts, and viewers are encouraged to reach out with questions.
