Expert Solution
Step 1

a) 5π6lies in second quadrant ,so, its reference angle is π-5π6=π6

b) -7π12 is equivalent to 2π+-7π12=17π12 which lies in third quadrant , so,its reference angle is 17π12-π=5π12

c) 17π5 is equivalent to 17π5-2π=7π5 which lies in third quadrant , so its reference angle is 7π5-π=2π5

d) 13π8 lies in fourth quadrant so its reference angle is  2π-13π8=3π8
