Answer: 60 degrees
=====================================================
Explanation:
The given angle is ∅ = 300. This x value is between 270 and 360, so we're in quadrant IV (the southeast quadrant)
The rule to get the reference angle y for this quadrant is
Ф = 360-∅
This tells us the angle made with the positive x axis
Ф = 360-∅
Ф = 360-300
Ф = 60
A 60 degree angle forms with the positive x axis as shown in the diagram below.
