To determine the quadrant in which an angle of -1560 degrees lies, we first need to find its coterminal angle within the range of 0 to 360 degrees.
We can do this by adding multiples of 360 to -1560 until we get an angle in the desired range:
-1560 + 360 = -1200
-1200 + 360 = -840
-840 + 360 = -480
-480 + 360 = -120
-120 + 360 = 240
So, -1560 degrees is coterminal with 240 degrees.
Now we determine the quadrant:
- Quadrant I: 0° to 90°
- Quadrant II: 90° to 180°
- Quadrant III: 180° to 270°
- Quadrant IV: 270° to 360°
Since 240° is between 180° and 270°, the angle lies in Quadrant III.
