When Θ = 5 pi over 6, what are the reference angle and the sign values for sine, cosine, and tangent?

Θ' = negative pi over 6; sine and cosine are positive, tangent is negative.
Θ' = 5 pi over 6; sine and tangent are positive, cosine is negative
Θ' = pi over 6; sine is positive, cosine and tangent are negative
Θ' = negative 5 pi over 6; sine is positive, cosine and tangent are negative

PLEASE someone help me. Thank you.

This angle is in the second quadrant of the unit circle. That is its in between 90 and 180 degrees ( pi/2 and pi radians.
In this quadrant only the sine is positive.

Now in the UK we would say that the reference angle is pi - 5pi/6 = pi/6
and the correct answer is C. I notice that there are some differences between UK and US trig standards so I can only give the UK answer.
