To determine the quadrant of an angle, you need to consider its reference angle or its position within a coordinate plane.
In this case, -298 degrees would rotate clockwise starting from the positive x-axis.
To find the reference angle, you can calculate it as the positive angle between the terminal side of the angle and the x-axis. In this case, the reference angle would be 298 degrees.
Since the reference angle of 298 degrees falls within the second quadrant, which is between 90 and 180 degrees, the angle -298 degrees would also be in the second quadrant.

no, -298° is in QI, since -298+360 = 62°, which is coterminal, and in QI
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. -298 degrees is indeed in the first quadrant (QI) because it is coterminal with 62 degrees, which falls within the range of 0 to 90 degrees. Thank you for catching that mistake.
