I got \[x= (\rho+a)\cos(s/(\rho+a))\]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

\[y= (\rho+a)\sin (s/(\rho+a))\]

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

I'm not sure if my approach is right. I used the fact that s=r*theta to find theta

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

I think I can also use projection of r onto e1,but not sure how to use it

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

@phi can we lend your mind?

OpenStudy (phi):

the central angle is x= s/p the y coord will be p sin x the x coord will be a+p cos x

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

Aren't they asking x and y coordinates relative to O. Which is why I found the O's angle
