Convert to Polar Coordinates (0,8)

Problem

(0,8)

Solution

1. Identify the given Cartesian coordinates (x,y) where x=0 and y=8

2. Calculate the radial coordinate r using the formula r=√(,x2+y2)

r=√(,0+8)

r=√(,64)

r=8

3. Determine the angular coordinate θ Since x=0 and y is positive, the point lies on the positive y-axis.

θ=π/2

4. Combine the values into the polar coordinate pair (r,θ)

Final Answer

(0,8)=(8,π/2)
