Given three points in polar notation what are the polar coordinates of a point equidistant from the three given points and can this point be found without converting to Cartesian coordinates?

Technically, yes. But, the equations involved are complicated to the point that it would be a fraction of the difficulty of converting. Also, the equations are essentially the Cartesian equations with the conversions built in, so you might as well convert them to start with.
However, if you insist on not converting, write out the entire process with all 4 points of interest in Cartesian coordinates. From beginning to end. Find the final equations needed and insert the conversion factors and simplify from there. To the best of my knowledge (and I did quite a bit of digging) there isn't a simply way of doing it. - Sorry.

When did the coordinate system come to be?
Cartesian coordinates are named after French mathematician Rene Descartes, who lived in the early 1600s & developed many modern conventions of mathematical notation.
What is the answer in converting 758200003 into a scientific notation?
758,200,003 in Scientific Notation = 7.58200003 x 108
What is the standard notation for a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system?
(x,y,z)
What is the standard notation for a point in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system?
(x,y,z)
Can any vector be represented by two other vectors that are right angels to each others?
Yes. This is the basis of cartesian vector notation. With cartesian coordinates, vectors in 2D are represented by two vectors, those in 3D are represented by three. Vectors are generally represented by three vectors, but even if the vector was not in an axial plane, it would be possible to represent the vector as the sum of two vectors at right angles to eachother.

Who introduce the cartesian plane?
The primary person involved in describing the concept of the Cartesian plane and the notation for ordered pairs was the French mathematician, Rene Des Cartes. See the related link.
What comes first the x or y axis?
In notation of coordinates it is the x axis followed by the y axis
Rules in converting scientific notation to decimal notation?
to convert scientific notation to decimal you count the number of spaces up to the last digit then put the decimal point then put x10 to the power of if how many places you move the decimal point.................................
How do you convert 3.744000 to a scientific notation?
3.744000 is scientific notation is 3.744 x 100. This is because the decimal is already placed where it would be after converting the number to scientific notation. However, if you wanted to convert 3744000.0 to scientific notation, you would have to move the decimal left six places. This number, in scientific notation, is 3.744 x 106.
