menu, which has functions for
converting coordinates between rectangular (x,y) and polar
(r,

calculations.
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.
