Answer

$\dfrac{\pi}{6}$

Work Step by Step

The reference angle of an angle $0 \leq \theta \lt 2\pi $ based on its position can be computed by using the following steps: a) Quadrant- I: $\theta $ b) Quadrant -II: $(\pi-\theta)$ c) Quadrant- III: $(\theta - \pi)$ d) Quadrant - IV: $(2\pi - \theta)$ Thus, the reference angle is: $ = \dfrac{25\pi}{6} -4\pi $ $\implies =\dfrac{25 \pi}{6} - \dfrac{24 \pi}{6}$ $ =\dfrac{\pi}{6}$
