Question

A certain corner of a room is selected as the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. If a fly is crawling on an adjacent wall at a point having coordinates (1.0, 0.7), where the units are meters, what is the location of the fly in polar coordinates?

Answer 1

Explanation:

r = √(1.0² + 0.7²) = 1.22065556157337029...

θ =arctan(0.7/1.0) = 34.9920201985586621...

(1.2, 35)
