------
The reference angle is ALWAYS the positive acute angle
separating the given angle from the closest piece
of the x-axis
-----------------------
Your Problem::
If t' = 255, the angle separating it
from the x-axis is 255-180 = 75 degrees
That is the reference angle.
----------------
Since t is in QIII, the terminal sides of
t and t' are collinear.
