Recall that an angle in standard position is measured starting from the positive x-axis and rotating counterclockwise.
Identify the measure of the given angle, which is \$75^\circ$.
Understand the quadrant boundaries: Quadrant I is from \$0^\circ\( to \)90^\circ\(, Quadrant II is from \)90^\circ\( to \)180^\circ\(, Quadrant III is from \)180^\circ\( to \)270^\circ\(, and Quadrant IV is from \)270^\circ\( to \)360^\circ$.
Since \$75^\circ\( lies between \)0^\circ\( and \)90^\circ$, determine that the terminal side of the angle lies in Quadrant I.
Conclude that the angle \(\angle PQR\) in standard position with measure \$75^\circ$ is located in Quadrant I.
