Answer:
44°
Step-by-step explanation:
The reference angle is the magnitude of the smallest angle between the terminal ray and the x-axis.
Your angle is one full circle clockwise plus 44° more (-360° -44° = -404°), so makes an angle of -44° with respect to the positive x-axis. The magnitude of that is 44°.
_____
<em>Using a function</em>
The attachment shows a calculator function that can be used to find the reference angle for any angle. (Replace the value -404 with the angle of your choice.)
