Question

A point in rectangular coordinates is given. Convert the point to polar coordinates. Round your answers to two decimal places.

(5,7)

Answer 1

(√74, 54.46°)

Explanation:

The rectangular coordinate point is given as; (5, 7)

Now, converting rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates is done by;

(r, θ)

Where, r is the magnitude while θ is the angle

r = √(5² + 7²)

r = √74

tan θ = (7/5)

θ = tan^(-1) 1.4

θ = 54.46°

Thus,polar coordinate is; (√74, 54.46°)
