Answer:
(7,(\pi)/(2))

Explanation:

Given

The equation of the circle is
x^2+y^2=r^2

Point
(0,7) lies on the circle

Put the value


\Rightarrow 0^2+7^2=r^2\\\Rightarrow r=7\ \text{units}

for this point, the angle is given by


\Rightarrow \tan \theta=(y)/(x)\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta=(7)/(0)\rightarrow \infty

That is
\theta \rightarrow 90^(\circ)

The polar coordinate is given by
(r,\theta)


\therefore\ (7,90^(\circ))\ \text{or}\ (7,(\pi)/(2))
