Which of the following angles lies in the fourth quadrant?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(315^\circ\)
\(315^\circ\) lies between \(270^\circ\) and \(360^\circ\), so its terminal side is in the fourth quadrant. \(225^\circ\) lies in the third quadrant. Exam tip: place an angle between \(0^\circ\) and \(360^\circ\) before identifying its quadrant.
