Change  to degrees:



We subtract 360° enough times to get a
a positive coterminal angle less than 360°: 

585°-360° = 225° (it was only necessary to
subtract 360° one time.)



That is in QIII, So to get the reference
angle, we subtract 180° from 225° and get 
225°-180° = 45°.

The tangent is + in QIII, so
