Polar.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!
I hope every had a safe and wondersful holiday:)Now its time to re-focus and get ready to begin school again. So here is holiday blog number two i'm sure.
What is Polar.
Chapter eleven is about polar and nonpolar. In section eleven one we learned conversions of polar to noon polar and vice versa. (x,y) coordinates are nonpolar. R and theta coordinates are polar.
X=rcostheta y=rsintheta
The same formula Is used to convert from polar to rectangular.
R=sqrtx^2+y^2

Give polar coordinates for (3,3)
R=sqrt 3^2=3^2
r=sqrt9+9
r=3sqrt2
tan x=3/3
x=tan-1(1) x=45 from trig chart
(3sqrt2,45 degrees)
