Which of the following angles lies in the second quadrant in standard position?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(120^\circ\)
An angle in the second quadrant is greater than \(90^\circ\) and less than \(180^\circ\). Since \(120^\circ\) lies in this interval, it is correct. \(210^\circ\) is in the third quadrant. Exam tip: remember the quadrant boundaries \(90^\circ,180^\circ,270^\circ\).
