Question

Which quadrant does the given angle 1079 degrees lie?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

This angle lies in the 4th quadrant.

To find the quadrant in which the angle lies you have to follow these steps:

1. Subtract `360^o` until you get an angle smaller than `360^o`. This rule comes from the fact that `360^o` is a full angle.

2. The remaining angle `x` lies in:

3. 1st quadrant if `x <=90`

4. 2nd quadrant if `90 < x <=180`
5. 3rd quadrant if `180 < x <= 270`
6. 4th quadrant if `270 < x < 360`
