In standard position, a reference angle refers to the acute angle that is created by the terminal side of a specific angle and the x-axis. This angle, which is always positive and never more than 90 degrees, is employed to make trigonometric computations more straightforward. The method to determine it is to subtract the angle provided from either 180 or 360 degrees, based on the situation.
