Eight. That may be a big part of the reason why they're called "OCTants".

Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

What does a Cartesian Coordinate System do?

A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates. These coordinate system can be used to provide geometric interpretations for many branches of mathematics.


The Cartesian coordinate system has how many quadrants?

4


How many quadrants are there on a rectangular coordinate system?

Four.


How many coordinate systems are there in Physics?

As many as you like. Coordinate systems are arbitrary frameworks used to describe the system configuration (arrangement). The popular coordinate systems are rectangular, polar and spherical. Coordinate systems are not the same as dimensions. A physical problem may have only one dimension and can be described in a three dimensional rectangular coordinate system. Physics since Einstein is believed to be 4 dimensional. A 4 dimensional coordinate system like quaternions would seem to be convenient.


How many quadrants are there on a square coordinate system?

How do you Defining User Coordinate Systems in GstarCAD?

When working in three-dimensional space, you can define a user coordinate system (UCS) with its own 0,0,0 origin and orientation separate from the World Coordinate System. You can create as many user coordinate systems as you want, and then save and recall them as you need them to simplify construction of three-dimensional entities. For example, you can create a separate UCS for each side of a building. Then, by switching to the UCS for the east side of the building, you can draw the windows on that side by specifying only their x- and y-coordinates. When you create one or more user coordinate systems, the coordinate entry is based on the current UCS.


How many number lines comprise the basic parts of a cartesian cooridnate system?

As many as the number of dimensions that the coordinate system represents. 2 if it is 2-dimensional plane, 3 if 3-d space and so on.


How many number lines comprise the basic parts of a Cartesian coordinate system?

Its 2. The horizontal axes and the vertical axes. god bless you.


Why is the Cartesian coordinate system also called a plane?

Possibly because the first time that pupils are introduced to the name and concept it is has only two dimensions. These are usually represented as horizontal (x) and vertical (y) coordinates. Actually, many children meet the concept - in its 1-dimensional form - as the number line. It is not called a Cartesian coordinate system then, and they make only simple use of it. The Cartesian coordinate system is normally extended to 3-dimensional space in high school coordinate geometry when it is obviously not called a plane, and to multi-dimensional hyperspaces in advanced mathematics or physics.
