Sign of Angles:

The definition of an angle is very useful in geometry.  In Trigonometry, we need a detailed definition of an angle.

Let a revolving line starting from OX, rotate about O in a plane and stop at position OP. Then it is said to trace out an angle XOP. OX is called initial side, OP is final or terminal side and O is the vertex of the angle. If rotation is anticlockwise, the angle is positive. If rotation is clock-wise, the angle is negative.

Sign of Angles

An angle is said to lie in a particular quadrant if the terminal side of an angle lie in the quadrant.
