Question
**Problem Statement:**

Find \( \theta \), if \( 0^\circ < \theta < 360^\circ \) and 

\[ \cos \theta = -\frac{1}{2} \] 

and \( \theta \) is in Quadrant III.

\[ \theta = \] 

**Explanation:**

The problem asks to find the angle \( \theta \) given that it is between 0° and 360°, the cosine of \( \theta \) is \(-\frac{1}{2}\), and \( \theta \) is in the third quadrant of the unit circle. Quadrant III refers to the range of angles between 180° and 270°, where the cosine value is negative.
