To convert polar to cartesian, three essential parameters are needed: the Value of r and Value of θ.
The formula for converting polar to cartesian (x, y):
x = rcosθ
y = rsinθ
Let’s solve an example;
Find the conversion of polar to cartesian when the value of r is 4 and value of θ is 8.
This implies that;
Value of r = 4
Value of θ = 8
Finding x:
x = 4 x cos(8°)
That is, x = 4 x 0.99
x = 3.96
Therefore, x is 3.96.
Finding y:
y = 4 x sin(8°)
So, y = 4 x 0.139
y = 0.55
Therefore, y is 0.55.
Therefore, the Cartesian coordinates of the polar coordinates (4∠8°) is (3.96, 0.55).
