Two points in the xy plane Cartesian coordinate 2.00-4.00m and -3.003.00m What is the distance between these points and b what are their polar coordinates?

Answer 1

2,4

-3,3 Find the difference in x

2 - (-3) = 5

Find the difference in y

4-3 = 1 dist = square root of ( 5^2 + 1 ^2 )

= 5.0990195135927848300282241090228 angle = arctan (y/x)

= 78.69006752597978691352549456166 (degrees) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_canonical_coordinate_transformations#To_polar_coordinates_from_Cartesian_coordinates
