Find the reference angle for the given angle 179 degree 209
     Find the reference angle for the given angle.  179 degree  -209 degree  299 degree   
  
  Solution
a) 179 degree
find the quadrant in which the terminal side lies
179 degrees lie between 90 and 180 degrees ( quadrant 2 )
subtract 180 from 179 = 1 degree
hence reference angle is 1 degree
b) -209 degrees
209 degrees lie between 180 and 270
subract 209 from 180 = 29 degree is reference angle
c) 299 degrees
299 degrees lie between 270 and 360 degrees
subtract 360 from 299 = 61 degrees is reference angle
