Q1. Draw the following angles in standard position and identify the quadrant.

Background

Topic: Angles in Standard Position & Quadrants

This question tests your understanding of how to draw angles (in radians) on the coordinate plane and determine which quadrant their terminal side lies in.

Key Terms and Concepts:

• Standard Position: An angle with its vertex at the origin and its initial side along the positive x-axis.

• Quadrants: The four sections of the coordinate plane (I, II, III, IV).

• Radian Measure: Angles given in terms of π.

Step-by-Step Guidance

1. For each angle, convert the radian measure to degrees if needed to help visualize the angle.

2. Draw the initial side along the positive x-axis. Rotate counterclockwise for positive angles and clockwise for negative angles.

3. Determine how many full rotations (if any) the angle makes, and then find the position of the terminal side.

4. Identify which quadrant the terminal side lies in based on the angle's measure.
