Find the reference angle for a rotation of start fraction, 2, pi, divided by, 9, end fraction92*π*​.

To find the reference angle for a given rotation, we first need to determine whether the angle is already within the range \( 0^\circ \) to \( 360^\circ \) (or \( 0 \) to \( 2\pi \) radians) and then find the corresponding reference angle.

The given rotation angle is \( \frac{92\pi}{9} \).

### Step 1: Simplify the Angle
We want to reduce the angle within the standard interval of \( [0, 2\pi] \). To do this, we find the equivalent angle by subtracting multiples of \( 2\pi \).

Let's first divide \( \frac{92\pi}{9} \) by \( 2\pi \):

\[
\frac{\frac{92\pi}{9}}{2\pi} = \frac{92}{9} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{92}{18} = 5.11
\]

So, \( \frac{92\pi}{9} \) is approximately \( 5.11 \) full rotations of \( 2\pi \).

Now, subtract the integer part (5 full rotations) to find the remaining portion of the angle:
\[
5.11 - 5 = 0.11
\]
Now, multiply \( 0.11 \) by \( 2\pi \) to get the angle within one full revolution:
\[
0.11 \times 2\pi = 0.22\pi
\]

### Step 2: Reference Angle
The simplified angle is \( 0.22\pi \). Since this angle is already between \( 0 \) and \( \pi \), it is in the first quadrant, and therefore the reference angle is simply \( 0.22\pi \).

Thus, the reference angle is:
\[
0.22\pi \text{ radians}.
\]

**Tip:** The reference angle is always positive and lies between \( 0 \) and \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians or \( 0^\circ \) and \( 90^\circ \).
