Use $x = r cos (θ) and y = r sin (θ)$ $x = rcos(theta) and y = rsin(theta)$ . Please see the explanation.

Use the equations:

$x = r cos (θ) and y = r sin (θ)$ $x = rcos(theta) and y = rsin(theta)$

$x = (3) cos (\frac{π}{2}) and y = 3 sin (\frac{π}{2})$ $x = (3)cos(pi/2) and y = 3sin(pi/2)$

$x = 0 and y = 3$ $x = 0 and y = 3$

The point is $(0, 3)$ $(0,3)$
