Given the angle:

-660°

Let's find the coterminal angle from 0≤θ≤360.

To find the coterminal angle, in the interval given, let's keep adding 360 degrees to the angle until we get the angle in the interval,

We have:

Coterminal angle = -660 + 360 = -300 + 360 = 60°

Therefore, the coterminal angle is 60°.

Since 60 degrees is between 0 to 90 degrees, is is quadrant I.

60 degrees lie in Quadrant I.

Also since it is in quadrant I, the reference angle is still 60 degrees.

ANSWER:

The coterminal angle is 60°, which lies in quadrant I, with a reference angle of 60°
