Graphing Polar Equations

Question 13 • MO-Algebra II A-CR

Convert the polar coordinates (5, 6.1) to rectangular coordinates.

Answer
A
(0.98, –0.18)
B
(0.98, 0.18)
C
(4.92, –0.91)
D
(4.92, 0.91)

Explanation

For polar coordinates, convert using x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ. With r = 5 and θ = 6.1 radians, x ≈ 5 cos(6.1) ≈ 4.92 and y ≈ 5 sin(6.1) ≈ −0.91. So the rectangular coordinates are (4.92, −0.91), choice C.
