Rectangular and Polar CoordinatesConvert rectangular to polar two dimensional coordinates using a calculator.The rectangular coordinates (x,y) and polar coordinates (R,t) are related as follows. y = R sin t and x = R cos t R2 = x2 + y2 and tan t = y/x  The calculator finds R using R = sqrt(x 2 + y 2). Then finds the quadrant using the signs of x and y and solve any of the equations for t such that t is in the range (-π , π] or (-180° , 180°].
