Convert to Rectangular Coordinates (6,30)
Problem
Solution
Identify the given polar coordinates
(r,θ) wherer=6 andθ=30 Apply the formula for the
x coordinate usingx=r*cos(θ) Substitute the values into the formula:
x=6*cos(30) Evaluate the cosine function:
x=6⋅√(,3)/2=3√(,3) Apply the formula for the
y coordinate usingy=r*sin(θ) Substitute the values into the formula:
y=6*sin(30) Evaluate the sine function:
y=6⋅1/2=3
