Math Problem Statement
When the terminal side of an angle in standard position lies along one of the axes, it is called ___ angle.
Solution
The question in the image asks to complete the sentence:
"When the terminal side of an angle in standard position lies along one of the axes, it is called ___ angle."
The correct answer is "a quadrantal" angle.
This is because a quadrantal angle is an angle whose terminal side lies along the x-axis or y-axis (i.e., at 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°).
Would you like further details on quadrantal angles, or have any other questions?

- What is the definition of a standard position angle?
- Can a quadrantal angle be negative? If so, how?
- How are quadrantal angles represented on the unit circle?
Tip: To quickly check if an angle is quadrantal, look for multiples of 90°.
