Find the Quadrant of the Angle 280

Problem

280

Solution

1. Identify the standard ranges for each of the four quadrants in a coordinate plane.

2. Recall that Quadrant I is 0<θ<90 Quadrant II is 90<θ<180 Quadrant III is 180<θ<270 and Quadrant IV is 270<θ<360

3. Compare the given angle 280 to these ranges.

4. Determine that since 270<280<360 the angle lies in the fourth quadrant.

Final Answer

280∈Quadrant IV
