Example
Convert polar coordinates (r,
q
)=(5, 30) into rectangular
coordinates. Then convert rectangular coordinates
(
x
,
y
) = (3, 4) into polar coordinates. Round the results to one
decimal place.
Converting (r,
q
) = (5, 30) gives (
x
,
y
) = (4.3, 2.5) and
(
x
,
y
) = (3, 4) gives (r,
q
) = (5.0, 53.1).
