Final answer:

To convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates, use the formulas r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) and theta = atan(y/x).

Step-by-step explanation:

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

r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)

theta = atan(y/x)

where (x, y) are the rectangular coordinates and (r, theta) are the polar coordinates.
