Answer

$10^o$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The following are the means on how to find the reference angle of an angle $\theta$ based on its position: (1) Quadrant I: $\theta$ (itself) (2) Quadrant II: $180^o-\theta$ (3) Quadrant III: $\theta - 180^o$ (4) Quadrant IV: $360^o-\theta$ $170^o$ is in Quadrant II. Thus, using forrmula (2) above gives: reference angle of $170^o$ = $180^o-170^o=10^o$
