Question

An angle measuring -70 degrees is drawn in standard position. In what quadrant does the terminal side of this angle lie? Express your answer as a Roman numeral.

Answer 1

First, we need to make this angle positive. So we are going to add 360 degrees to -70 to determine the positive form of this angle

-70+360=290

Quadrant I: 0-90
Quadrant II: 90-180
Quadrant III: 180-270
Quadrant IV: 270-360.

This angle is in quadrant IV since 290 is between 270 and 360

Hope this helps
