Answer:

Quadrants

Explanation:

When two lines intersect such that they are perpendicular to each other, then quadrants are said to be formed. So that a given space would be divided into four quadrants when two perpendicular lines are drawn on it.

Each section which is called quadrant is at right angle to one another. So that the addition of their angles at the meeting point is the sum of four right angles i.e
360^(o). Thus each of the four sections created by the intersecting lines is called a quadrant.
