The abscissa in Cartesian coordinates. In polar coordinates, it would be the radius .or domain
absolute relative and polar coordinates definition
If the polar coordinates of a point P are (r,a) then the rectangular coordinates of P are x = rcos(a) and y = rsin(a).
The point whose Cartesian coordinates are (2, 0) has the polar coordinates R = 2, Θ = 0 .
To calculate the true position of polar coordinates, you convert the polar coordinates (r, θ) into Cartesian coordinates (x, y) using the formulas: ( x = r \cdot \cos(θ) ) and ( y = r \cdot \sin(θ) ). Here, ( r ) represents the radial distance from the origin, and ( θ ) is the angle measured from the positive x-axis in radians. This conversion provides the exact position in a Cartesian coordinate system.
Coordinates are also referred to as ordered pairs or position indicators. They represent a specific point in a defined space, typically using a system like Cartesian coordinates (x, y) or polar coordinates (r, θ). In geographical contexts, coordinates may also be called latitude and longitude.
The point whose Cartesian coordinates are (-3, -3) has the polar coordinates R = 3 sqrt(2), Θ = -0.75pi.
