polar coordinates

Step-by-step explanation

polar coordinates are


(r,\theta)

where


\begin{gathered} r=√(x^2+y^2) \\ r=√(0^2+3^2) \\ r=3 \end{gathered}

and


\begin{gathered} \theta=\tan((y)/(x)) \\ \theta=\tan((3)/(0)) \\ \theta=(\pi)/(2) \end{gathered}

Final answer

So, the polar coordinates =


undefined
