Given an angle of $135°$, determine the quadrant in which this angle lies on the unit circle.

The unit circle is divided into four quadrants:

Quadrant I:

°$ to $90°$

Quadrant II: $90°$ to $180°$

Quadrant III: $180°$ to $270°$

Quadrant IV: $270°$ to $360°$

Since $135°$ is greater than $90°$ and less than $180°$,

$135°$

lies in Quadrant II.

°$ to $90°$

Quadrant II: $90°$ to $180°$

Quadrant III: $180°$ to $270°$

Quadrant IV: $270°$ to $360°$

Since $225°$ is greater than $180°$ and less than $270°$,

$225°$

lies in Quadrant III.

Given an angle of $315°$, identify the quadrant it falls into on the unit circle.

The unit circle is divided into:

Quadrant I:

°$ to $90°$

Quadrant II: $90°$ to $180°$

Quadrant III: $180°$ to $270°$

Quadrant IV: $270°$ to $360°$

Since $315°$ is between $270°$ and $360°$,

$315°$

lies in Quadrant IV.
