$Identify the Quadrants on the Unit Circle$

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Matthew Carter

Given the angle θ = 45°, determine which quadrant of the unit circle the terminal side of the angle lies in.

Solve: First, convert the angle to radians if necessary. For 45°, the equivalent in radians is $ \frac{\pi}{4} $. Since $ \frac{\pi}{4} $ is a positive angle less than $ \frac{\pi}{2} $, it falls in the first quadrant.

Answer: The terminal side of the angle $ 45° $ lies in the first quadrant.

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Olivia Lee

Given the angle θ = 135°, determine which quadrant of the unit circle the terminal side of the angle lies in.

Solve: First, convert the angle to radians if necessary. For 135°, the equivalent in radians is $ frac{3pi}{4} $. Since $ frac{3pi}{4} $ is a positive angle greater than $ frac{pi}{2} $ but less than $ pi $, it falls in the second quadrant.

Answer: The terminal side of the angle $ 135° $ lies in the second quadrant.

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Mia Harris

Given the angle θ = 225°, determine which quadrant of the unit circle the terminal side of the angle lies in.

Solve: For 225°, the equivalent in radians is $ frac{5pi}{4} $. Since $ frac{5pi}{4} $ is a positive angle greater than $ pi $ but less than $ frac{3pi}{2} $, it falls in the third quadrant.

Answer: The terminal side of the angle $ 225° $ lies in the third quadrant.
