Question 115159: what is quadrant 1 2 3 &4
Answer by bucky(2189)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Draw a set of coordinate axes as shown below
.
.
Note that there are four sections formed by these set axes.
.
The "origin" is the point where the axes cross each other.
.
Quadrant I (or 1) is the upper right section of the coordinate system. If the origin was the center
of a clock face, Quadrant I would be the part of the clock face where the hours 12, 1, 2,
and 3 are located.
.
Quadrant II (or 2) is the upper left section of this coordinate system. Again, if the coordinate
system was the face of a clock, Quadrant II would be where the hours 9, 10, 11 and 12 are
located.
.
Quadrant III (or 3) is the lower left section of the coordinate system. Quadrant III would be
that part of the clock face where the hours 6, 7, 8, and 9 are.
.
Finally Quadrant IV (or 4) is the lower right section of the coordinate system. Quadrant IV
is that part of a clock face where the hours 3, 4, 5, and 6 are.
.
Hope this helps you to understand the system for numbering the quadrants.
