By definition, it is important to remember that a circle has 360 degrees.

According to the information given in the exercise, you start at this point on the unit circle:


(0,-1)

Observe the following picture:

By definition, from the point (0,-1) to the point (1,0) there are 90 degrees.

Therefore, if you move 300 degrees counterclockwise from the point (0,-1), you can subtract 90 degrees from the 300 degrees in order to calculate which angle in degrees will you end up on the unit circle:


300\degree-90\degree=210\degree

Therefore, you will end up with 210 degrees.

The answer is: Third option.
