The video tutorial explains how to solve a triangle problem by finding missing angles and side lengths. It begins with setting up the problem, identifying given angles, and calculating the missing angle using the sum of angles in a triangle. The tutorial then demonstrates how to use trigonometric properties, specifically tangent and sine, to find the missing side lengths. The process involves solving equations and using a calculator for precise results. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps taken to solve the problem.
