Answer

The angle \( 225 \) degrees is located in the third quadrant. For reference, the four quadrants are divided as follows: first quadrant (0 to 90 degrees), second quadrant (90 to 180 degrees), third quadrant (180 to 270 degrees), and fourth quadrant (270 to 360 degrees).

Steps

Step 1 :The angle \( \theta = 5 \pi / 4 \) is a positive angle and it is measured in radians. In degrees, it is equal to \( 5 \pi / 4 \times \frac{180}{\pi} = 225 \) degrees.

Step 2 :The angle \( 225 \) degrees is located in the third quadrant. For reference, the four quadrants are divided as follows: first quadrant (0 to 90 degrees), second quadrant (90 to 180 degrees), third quadrant (180 to 270 degrees), and fourth quadrant (270 to 360 degrees).
