**Step 1: Find the equivalent angle between $0^\circ$ and $360^\circ$**
Since angles coterminal differ by multiples of $360^\circ$, subtract $360^\circ$ until the angle is between $0^\circ$ and $360^\circ$:
$$675^\circ - 360^\circ = 315^\circ$$
So, $675^\circ$ is coterminal with $315^\circ$.

**Step 2: Determine the quadrant of $315^\circ$**
Quadrants are defined as:
- Q1: $0^\circ$ to $90^\circ$
- Q2: $90^\circ$ to $180^\circ$
- Q3: $180^\circ$ to $270^\circ$
- Q4: $270^\circ$ to $360^\circ$
Since $315^\circ$ is between $270^\circ$ and $360^\circ$, it lies in Quadrant IV.

**Step 3: Find the reference angle**
The reference angle $r$ in Quadrant IV is:
$$r = 360^\circ - 315^\circ = 45^\circ$$
---
**Step 4: Find the exact value of $\cos 67.5^\circ$**
Use the half-angle formula for cosine:
$$\cos \frac{\theta}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos \theta}{2}}$$
Here, $67.5^\circ = \frac{135^\circ}{2}$.
We know:
$$\cos 135^\circ = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
Since $67.5^\circ$ is in Quadrant I, cosine is positive, so:
$$\cos 67.5^\circ = + \sqrt{\frac{1 + \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}}$$
Simplify numerator:
$$1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{2}$$
So:
$$\cos 67.5^\circ = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{2 - \sqrt{2}}}{2}$$
---
**Final answers:**
- a. Quadrant IV
- b. Reference angle $45^\circ$
- c. Exact value $\cos 67.5^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2 - \sqrt{2}}}{2}$
