The angle is .
Reference angle:
\If be an angle in standard position, its reference angle is the acute angle
formed by the terminal side of
, and the horizontal axis.
if is in second quadrant then
.

Sketch the standard angle and reference angle :
\The standard angle is measured in counter clock wise direction.
\The reference angle is also measured in counter clock wise direction the measurement is positive.
