Name the polar coordinates for the point below
The picture
@wolf1728 Can you help?
Polar coordinates are radius 3 and angle is 33.33° The Cartesian coordinates are (2.51, 1.65) (Used an online calculator for the conversion)
gee you just wanted the polar?
Yes sorry
Thank you for your help
anyway, the polar coordinates are easy to explain The graphic shows an angle whose "size" is 2 "lines" If you look at the upper right quadrant you see that 2 lines are part of a group of six lines in that 90° angle. 2/6 = .3333333 .333333 * 90 = 30° Wow - made a mistake - angle is 30°
Ok once again thank you for your help. Is there anyway you can say it maybe simpler?
Easy English will work
You did look at the graphic right?
Yes I did look it is just that im tired so it harder to process stuff
If you see the dot, (and going counter clockwise from the right side horizontal axis) you can count it is 2 "lines" up. The entire right angle consists of 6 lines. So the angle = 90° * 2/6 = 30°
Ok so if I straightened the lines it would be at point 2,2
I count the first line as 1 So I make the radius position as 3 In polar coordinates you only state one number for the radius.
Ok thank you. HAs a medal
Yeah I think that explains it all.
Once again thank you for the help
u r welcome
