Question

Use the Distance Formula to find the distance between the two points in polar coordinates. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) (8, 0.2), (9, 1.7)

Answer 1

Distance= 1

Explanation:

Distance be points using polar coordinates

Distance= √(8² +9² -2(8)(9)cos(0.2-1.7)

Distance=√(64 + 81-(144)cos(-1.5))

Distance= √(145-143.9506)

Distance=√ 1.0493

Distance= 1.0243

Distance= 1
