Answer:

Quadrant 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The quadrant of the terminal side of the angle

To find:

the quadrant if 180 is subtracted to get the reference angle

To determine the correct quadrant, we need to list the measure of the reference angle for each quadrant

Quadrant 1 (90°): the reference angle is θ

Quadrant 2 (90° - 180°): the refrenece angle is 180 - θ

Quadrant 3 (180° - 270°): the reference angle is θ - 180

Quadrant 4 (360°): the reference angle is 360 - θ

From the above, 180 is subtracted from the angle to get the reference angle in Quadrant 3
