Question

How do you convert the polar coordinate ( 11.3991 , -0.5856 )into cartesian coordinates?

Answer 1

`x=9.49979` and `y=-6.30028`

Explanation:

From the given data `r=11.3991` and `theta=-0.5856`radian

`x=r cos theta`
`x=11.3991*cos (-0.5856)` make sure your calculator is set to angle in radian mode

`x=9.49979`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
also
`y=r*sin theta`
`y=11.3991*sin (-0.5856)` make sure your calculator is set to angle in radian mode
`y=-6.30028`

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful..
