Step 1: Write out the formula for changing polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates


\begin{gathered} \text{ Given a polar coordinate of a point, }(r,\theta),\text{ then the Cartesian coordinate of the point is} \\ (r\cos \theta,r\sin \theta) \end{gathered}

Step 2: Write out the given values and find the Cartesian coordinate


r=10,\theta=52^0
