It 2-dimensional coordinate geometry, angles are measured from the origin, relative to the positive direction of the x-axis and they increase in the anti-clockwise direction. As a result, small positive angles are in the first quadrant, and as the angle size increases it moves into the second, third and fourth quadrants.
