To convert the point (2, π/3) to rectangular coordinates, use the formulas x = r * cos(q) and y = r * sin(q). Substitute r = 2 and q = π/3 to find the rectangular coordinates as (1, √3).
To convert a point from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates, we use the formulas:
x = r * cos(q)
y = r * sin(q)
In the given question, the point is (2, π/3). To convert it to rectangular coordinates, we substitute r = 2 and q = π/3 into the formulas:
x = 2 * cos(π/3) = 2 * 0.5 = 1
y = 2 * sin(π/3) = 2 * √3/2 = √3
Therefore, the rectangular coordinates of the point (2, π/3) are (1, √3).
