Answer 1

what relation do we know between r x and y ?

Answer 2

r^2=y^2+x^2

Answer 3

good, and they give you and x and a y, so what is r?

Answer 4

is it -2

Answer 5

or squarroot 4

Answer 6

sqrt4, which simplifies to r=2

Answer 7

what trig function do we know that relates an angle to y and x?

Answer 8

7pi/6

Answer 9

or if you know the special triangles .... this might be simpler

Answer 10

negative and negative, so yeah, it bigger than pi by a little bit

Answer 11
