Sure! Here's a short note on Quadrant, signed as Mil:
Quadrant
A quadrant is one of the four equal parts of a plane divided by a horizontal axis (x-axis) and a vertical axis (y-axis), commonly used in the Cartesian coordinate system in mathematics. These four regions are numbered counterclockwise:
Quadrant I: Both x and y are positive
Quadrant II: x is negative, y is positive
Quadrant III: Both x and y are negative
Quadrant IV: x is positive, y is negative
Quadrants help in locating and plotting points, analyzing graphs, and understanding geometric shapes in coordinate geometry. They are also useful in fields like physics, engineering, and computer graphics for mapping positions and directions.
Beyond math, the term "quadrant" can be used to describe any one-fourth division of a circular area or space.

Right Angle
A right angle is an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees. It is one of the most important and common angles in geometry. Right angles are found in squares, rectangles, and many everyday objects like books, doors, and walls.
In diagrams, a right angle is usually marked with a small square at the corner to show it is 90°. When two lines or line segments meet to form a right angle, they are said to be perpendicular to each other.
Right angles are the foundation of many geometric constructions and are essential in fields such as architecture, engineering, and design, where precise angles are necessary. They help ensure structures are straight, balanced, and functional.
