The following formulas are important for finding the reference number tˉ\bar{t}:

Quadrant I:tˉ=tQuadrant II:tˉ=πtQuadrant III:tˉ=tπQuadrant IV:tˉ=2πt\begin{align*} &\text{Quadrant I:} &&\bar{t}=t \\ &\text{Quadrant II:} &&\bar{t}=\pi-t \\ &\text{Quadrant III:} &&\bar{t}=t-\pi \\ &\text{Quadrant IV:} &&\bar{t}=2\pi-t \\ \end{align*}

Our angle tt is in the fourth quadrant because 3π2t2π\dfrac {3\pi} 2 \leq t \leq 2\pi. Hence, the reference number for tt is:

tˉ=2π5π3=π3\bar{t}=2\pi-\dfrac{5\pi}{3}=\dfrac{\pi}{3}
