Example
Each quadrant of a circle represents one-fourth of the circle's area.
The quadrant shape is often used in various engineering and architectural designs.
In a pie chart, each section can be divided into quadrants for detailed analysis.
The angle of a quadrant is 90 degrees because it is formed by two perpendicular radii.
A 150-degree angle is another example of an oblique angle, falling in the second quadrant.
