10 radians is about 6.4 ninety degree angles, which puts it comfortably in the third quadrant.

Explanation:

Not clear if this is 10 radians or 10 ^circ. Let's do both.

10^circ is obviously in the first quadrant, no need to belabor that..

10 radians. A quadrant is 90^circ or \pi/2. Let's count quadrants:

10 / (\pi/2) approx 6.4.

0-1 means first quadrant, 1-2 second, 2-3, third, 3-4 fourth, 4-5 first, 5-6, second, 6-7 third, bingo.
