The video tutorial introduces the Side-Side-Side (SSS) postulate for proving triangle congruence. It provides three examples: the first involves marked sides of triangles, the second uses an altitude to create smaller congruent triangles, and the third deals with overlapping triangles. Each example demonstrates how to identify congruent sides and apply the SSS postulate to prove triangle congruence.
