Final answer:

To convert polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates, use the formulas x = r * cos(q) and y = r * sin(q). To convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates, use the formulas r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) and q = arctan(y/x).

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to convert polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates, you can use the following formulas:

  • x = r * cos(q)
  • y = r * sin(q)

Here, (r, q) are the polar coordinates and (x, y) are the rectangular coordinates. The formula for converting rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates is given by:

  • r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
  • q = arctan(y/x)
