Find the Quadrant of the Angle 320 degrees

Problem

320

Solution

1. Identify the standard ranges for each of the four quadrants in a coordinate system where angles are measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis.

2. Recall that Quadrant I contains angles between 0 and 90

3. Recall that Quadrant II contains angles between 90 and 180

4. Recall that Quadrant III contains angles between 180 and 270

5. Recall that Quadrant IV contains angles between 270 and 360

6. Compare the given angle 320 to these ranges. Since 270<320<360 the angle lies in the fourth quadrant.

Final Answer

Quadrant of *320=Quadrant IV
