Question

The polar coordinates of a point are (12, 5π/3). Determine the cartesian coordinates of the point

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,        The polar coordinates of a point are 12,5π3.We know that,             If the polar coordinates of a point are r,θ, then the cartesian coordinates of             the point is given by                  r,θ  rcosθ , rsinθ
