Explanation:
To convert from
#color(blue)"polar to cartesian coordinates"# That is
#(r,theta)to(x,y)#
#color(orange)"Reminder " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(x=rcostheta , y=rsintheta)color(white)(2/2)|)))# here
#r=2" and " theta=pi/3#
#rArrx=2cos(pi/3)=2xx1/2=1# and
#y=2sin(pi/3)=2xxsqrt3/2=sqrt3#
#rArr(2,pi/3)to(1,sqrt3)#
