Asked by Jack
A surveyor records the polar coordinates of the location of a landmark as (40, 62°). What are the rectangular coordinates? Round each coordinate to the nearest hundredth.

first recall that the form of polar coordinate is
(r, θ)
to convert polar coordinate to rectangular coordinate, we do this:
(r*cos θ , r*sin θ)
in the problem, r = 40 and θ = 62. thus,
(r*cos θ , r*sin θ)
(40*cos 62 , 40*sin 62)
(18.78 , 35.32)
hope this helps~ :)
