Question
A point in rectangular coordinates is given. Convert the point to polar coordinates. (6,2)
Step 1
We can use the formula $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$, where x and y are the rectangular coordinates. In this case, x = 6 and y = 2. So, we have $r = \sqrt{6^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{36 + 4} = \sqrt{40} = 2\sqrt{10}$. Show more…
