The reference angle for any angle in standard position is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis. For an angle of 236.6°, which lies in the third quadrant, the reference angle is found by subtracting the angle from 180° (since it's more than 180° but less than 270°). Therefore, the reference angle is 236.6° - 180° = 56.6°.
