The Greeks started it
This is a difficult question to answer since geometry has been around in one form or another as long as there has been written history. The Egyptians were making use of geometry to build pyramids even in prehistoric times. It was the Greeks, however who first began to rigorously study geometry and try to prove facts about it. Euclid was perhaps the most notable geometer of ancient mathematics and it was he who first axiomatized the subject (carefully defined the concepts crucial to geometry).
Elliptical geometry is like Euclidean geometry except that the "fifth postulate" is denied. Elliptical geometry postulates that no two lines are parallel.One example: define a point as any line through the origin. Define a line as any plane through the origin. In this system, the first four postulates of Euclidean geometry hold; through two points, there is exactly one line that contains them (i.e.: given two lines through the origin, there is one plane that contains them) and so on. However, it is nottrue that given a line and a point not on the line that there is a parallel line through the point (that is, given a plane through the origin, and a line through the origin, not on the plane, there is no other plane through the origin that is parallel to the given plane).

probably just the analogy between geometry and arithmetic. Merely a 1:1 correspondence, not a logical link.
take a protractor and line up the origin of the angle with the dot. then folow th line up to the corresponding numbe, which is the angle
It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes who introduced coordinated geometry by means of the Cartesian plane which consist of an horizontal x axis and vertical y axis that are perpendicular to each other and bisect each other at the origin whose coodinates are (0, 0)
In geometry, the x-coordination is a line that runs vertically from the origin.
'geo' . . . referring to earth 'metry' . . . measurement
Origin is at points (0, 0) in coordinate geometry. If you are shifting/translating the origin, you have to add the respective x and y coordinates of the new origin with respect to the old origin to get the coordinates of the new origin.

The word Geometry is derived from the Greek words "gaia" (geo) and "metria" (meter) and means "earth measures". Geometry has been widely used in the field of science, engineering, computers, and art. Its origin was during the ancient civilization in Egypt, where geometry was used in their arts, astronomy, and architecture.In Mathematics, we define Geometry as: A branch of mathematics that defines and relates the basic properties and measurement of line segments and angles.
Euclidean geometry has become closely connected with computational geometry, computer graphics, convex geometry, and some area of combinatorics. Topology and geometry The field of topology, which saw massive developement in the 20th century is a technical sense of transformation geometry. Geometry is used on many other fields of science, like Algebraic geometry. Types, methodologies, and terminologies of geometry: Absolute geometry Affine geometry Algebraic geometry Analytic geometry Archimedes' use of infinitesimals Birational geometry Complex geometry Combinatorial geometry Computational geometry Conformal geometry Constructive solid geometry Contact geometry Convex geometry Descriptive geometry Differential geometry Digital geometry Discrete geometry Distance geometry Elliptic geometry Enumerative geometry Epipolar geometry Euclidean geometry Finite geometry Geometry of numbers Hyperbolic geometry Information geometry Integral geometry Inversive geometry Inversive ring geometry Klein geometry Lie sphere geometry Non-Euclidean geometry Numerical geometry Ordered geometry Parabolic geometry Plane geometry Projective geometry Quantum geometry Riemannian geometry Ruppeiner geometry Spherical geometry Symplectic geometry Synthetic geometry Systolic geometry Taxicab geometry Toric geometry Transformation geometry Tropical geometry
An angle is formed by at least three points of reference. The origin and two others in plain geometry. A line may be drawn from the point of origin and any other given point. Any other line may be drawn from the origin and any other point. The difference between these lines is referred to as an angle.

It is in quadrants 1 and 2 It is v shaped it goes through the origin hope this helps!
