Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Given Angle

The given angle is \(\theta = \frac{15\pi}{16}\).

Step 2: Determine the Reference Angle

To find the reference angle for an angle \(\theta\) that is more than \(\pi\) but less than \(2\pi\), use the formula: \[ \text{Reference Angle} = 2\pi - \theta \]

Step 3: Calculate the Reference Angle

Substitute \(\theta = \frac{15\pi}{16}\) into the formula: \[ \text{Reference Angle} = 2\pi - \frac{15\pi}{16} = \frac{32\pi}{16} - \frac{15\pi}{16} = \frac{17\pi}{16} \]

Final Answer

The reference angle is \(\boxed{\frac{17\pi}{16}}\).
