Learn how to evaluate the tangent of 300 degrees using the unit circle

The video tutorial explains how to identify reference angles, specifically using a 300-degree angle to find its reference angle, Theta prime, which is 60 degrees. It discusses evaluating the tangent of 60 degrees using the unit circle, highlighting the coordinate point (1/2, sqrt 3/2) and the equivalence of tangent of Theta and Theta prime. The tutorial also covers determining the quadrant of a point and its impact on the sign of the tangent. Finally, it demonstrates simplifying the tangent calculation by multiplying by the reciprocal.
