Find the Cartesian coordinates of the point whose polar coordinates are :

`(4,  pi/2)`

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

Here,

r = 4 and θ = `pi/2`

Let the cartesian coordinates be (x, y)
Then, x = rcos θ = 4cos `(π/2)` = 0
y = r sin θ = 4sin`(π/2)`= 4
∴ The cartesian coordinates of the given point are (0, 4).
