Question

Which quadrant does the terminal side of 950 degrees lie?

Answer 1

The terminal side of angle `950^o` lies in the third quadrant.

Explanation:

To calculate the quadrant first we can reduce the angle to the angle smaller than `360^o`:

`950=2xx360+230`, so `950^o` lies in the same quadrant as `230^o`

The angle `230^o` lies between `180^o` and `270^o`, so its terminal side lies in the 3rd quadrant.
