According to a definition found through Google, "The reference angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis" where the given angle is represented with its first ray along the positive $x$-axis. – 2012-10-29

I would now draw each angle on a polar graph and apply the definition that alex.jordan gave (or whatever one is in your book if different). – 2012-10-29
