Question

How do you convert `(3,pi/3)` into rectangular coordinates?

Answer 1

Polar with radius = 3 and angle `pi/3 or 60^o`

Explanation:

At, `60^o`, `sin(60) = sqrt(3/2) and cos(60)=1/2`

Now, to convert to rectangular , simply multiply these by the radius of 3:

rectangular `= [rcos(theta), rsin(theta)]=(3/2,3sqrt(3)/2)`
