Answer :

You can simply consider that you start to rotate from the positive x-axis clockwise until you reach the third quadrant (rotate until you count 120 degree).

So you will end up in the Q III

Answer:

The terminal side of the angle fall in the 3rd quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle whose measure is -120° is in standard position.

Now, if the angle in standard position is positive then the angle rotates in positive direction and if the angle in standard form is negative then the angle rotates in anti-clockwise direction

Now, the angle is given to be -120°

Since the angle is negative, so the rotation of the angle will be in anti-clockwise direction.

So, the equivalent angle to the given angle will be : 360° - 120° = 240°

The angle comes to be 240° and this belongs to 3rd quadrant

Hence, the terminal side of the angle fall in the 3rd quadrant
