Answer:

The reference angle for an angle whose measure is 260° is 60°

Explanation:

Reference angle is a smallest and positive acute angle that can be formed by the terminal side with x axis.

Given angle measure is 260 degree

260 degree lies in third quadrant.

The x axis close nearest to 260 degree is 180 degree

To find reference angle we subtract 180 from 260 degree


260-180= 80

The reference angle for an angle whose measure is 260° is 60°
