Answer
$\dfrac{\pi}{6}$
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The following are the means on how to find the reference angle of an angle $\theta$ based on its position:
(1) Quadrant I: $\theta$ (itself)
(2) Quadrant II: $\pi-\theta$
(3) Quadrant III: $\theta - \pi$
(4) Quadrant IV: $2\pi-\theta$
$\frac{5\pi}{6}$ is in Quadrant II.
Thus, using formula (2) above gives:
reference angle of $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ is $\pi - \dfrac{5\pi}{6}=\dfrac{6\pi}{6}-\dfrac{5\pi}{6} = \dfrac{\pi}{6}$
