Answer:

30°

Explanation:

4560° ÷360°= 12.667 (5 s.f.)

This means that the angle 4560° goes around from quadrant I to quadrant IV 12 times, before coming back to quadrant I. The 13th round does not reach quadrant IV.

So, let's find the angle covered after the 12 full rounds.

12 ×360°= 4320°

remaining angle left

= 4560° -4320°

= 240°

See the attached picture to see where 240° will lie in the quadrants. It lies in quadrant III and its reference angle is the red coloured angle in the picture.

Reference angle

= 270° -240°

= 30°
