Question

How do you convert the cartesian coordinate (19, 6) into polar coordinates?

Answer 1

I found: `(20,17.5°)`

Explanation:

You need to convert Cartesian coordinates, `(x,y)`, into Polar `(r, theta`).

You can find `r` using Pythagoras Theorem as:
`r=sqrt(19^2+6^2)~~20`

and from trigonometry:

`theta=arctan(6/19)=17.5°`
