Answer:

-7π/3 or -420 degrees

Explanation:

So we know that the arrow has made one full rotation and that it is moving in a clockwise direction. So already we have -2π degrees.

The arrow stops at π/6 before the next π/2 rotation. Therefore we find the difference between the two.

π/2 - π/6

3π/6 - π/6 = 2π/6

π/3

Since this is still clockwise, we make this negative. So the measure of the angle shown by the arrow is -2π - π/3
