Question

The value of r represents the distance from a point to the pole when plotting that point in polar coordinates. True or False?

Answer 1

True, r represents the distance from a point to the pole when plotting that point in polar coordinates.

Explanation:

Given: The statement '' The value of r represents the distance from a point to the pole when plotting that point in polar coordinates ''

To state: whether the given statement is true or false

Solution:

In the cartesian coordinate system, any point is represented by the coordinates
`(x,y)`

In polar-coordinates system, distance of the point from the origin (pole)(r) and the angle
`(\theta)` that the line joining the point to the origin makes with the positive x -axis are used as polar coordinates. Polar coordinates are of form
`(r,\theta)`

True, r represents the distance from a point to the pole when plotting that point in polar coordinates.
