A point is located in a polar coordinate system by the coordinates r = 2.8 m and θ = 16°. Find the x- and y-coordinates of this point, assuming that the two coordinate systems have the same origin. x = m y = m

A point is located in a polar coordinate system by the coordinates r = 6.1 m and ̘ = 29°. Find the x- and y-coordinates of this point, assuming that the two coordinate systems have the same origin. The point P is shown in the figure with its polar coordinates labeled by r and ̘ and with its Cartesian coordinates labeled by x and y. Since the shaded area is a right triangle, basic trigonometry can be used to convert from the polar coordinates to the corresponding Cartesian coordinates. We know that the cosine of the angle ̘ is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. We have: cos ̘ = x / r and solving for x gives x = r cos ̘ = ( m)(cos °) = m.
