Points in the polar coordinate system with pole O and polar axis L.In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 degrees or (3, 60°). In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.
Practice Questions on Equation of Circle. Find the equation of a circle of radius 5 units, whose centre lies on the x-axis and which passes through the point (2, 3). Find the equation of a circle with the centre (h, k) and touching the x-axis. Show that the equation x 2 + y 2 – 6x + 4y – 36 = 0 represents a circle. Also, find the centre and ...

Example on distance between two points in polar Co-ordinates: Find the length of the line-segment joining the points (4, 10°) and (2√3 ,40°). Solution: We know that the length of the line-segment joining the points (r₁, θ₁),and (r₂, θ₂), is. √ [ r₂² + r₁² - 2r₁ r₂ Cos (θ₂ - θ₁)]. Therefore, the length of the line ...
Figure : Polar plots from Example 9.4.5. It is sometimes desirable to refer to a graph via a polar equation, and other times by a rectangular equation. Therefore it is necessary to be able to convert between polar and rectangular functions, which we practice in the following example.
Example 6.1.1 6.1. 1: Plotting a Point on the Polar Grid. Plot the point (3, π 2) ( 3, π 2) on the polar grid. Solution. The angle π 2 π 2 is found by sweeping in a counterclockwise direction 90° 90 ° from the polar axis.
This means that the distance between the two polar coordinates, ( 6, 80 ∘) and ( 3, 20 ∘), is equal to 3 3 or approximately 5.20 units. Example 2. Given two polar points, P 1 and P 2, calculate the distance between the points. P 1 = ( 4, 2 π 3) P 2 = ( 8, π 6) Solution.
