Answer 1

http://www.mathopenref.com/reference-angle.html
Definition: The smallest angle that the terminal side of a given angle makes with the x-axis.

Assuming a base side for the angle along the X-axis, the reference angle is the smallest acute angle as measured from the X-axis

`-386^o` is one full circle (`360^o`) plus (`26^o`) all measured in a clockwise direction.

The reference angle for (`-386^o`) is
`26^o`
