What octant is the US in?

Answer 1

The United States is primarily located in the northwest octant of the Cartesian coordinate system, where both the x (east-west) and y (north-south) coordinates are positive. This is because the country extends from the eastern coast (positive x) to the western coast (negative x) and from the southern border (negative y) to the northern border (positive y). However, the majority of the US landmass lies in the positive x and positive y quadrant, specifically in the first quadrant.
