How do I convert the coordinates (-2, 2, 3) from Cartesian to cylindrical? The y coordinate has to be in pi form.
Added by Jose Carlos S.
Step 1
Step 1: Convert the Cartesian coordinates (-2, 2, 3) to cylindrical coordinates using the formulas: \[ R = \sqrt{X^2 + Y^2} \] \[ \theta = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{Y}{X}\right) \] Show more…
