What are curvillinear coordinates?

Curvilinear coordinate systems are a means of describing an object/point's position based on angle and distance from the origin. For example, polar coordinates are Curvilinear coordinates for R2 (2D space). Spherical coordinates are Curvilinear coordinates for R3 (3D space) If you need to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates


How do we use coordinate geometry in daily life?

if you are traveling you will need to know the coordinates to make sure you are in the right place


Why you need more than one coordinate system?

That is because - for example - some calculations are easier in polar coordinates, and some are easier in rectangular coordinates. For example, complex numbers are easier to add and subtract in rectangular coordinates, and easier to multiply and divide in polar coordinates.


What are the coordinates of c if a is 10?

First, we need to know the relationship between "a" and "c". And "10" is not a co-ordinate. A co-ordinate has 2 or 3 numbers in it like 10,17, or like 10,17,5.


How do you find distance between two points?

If you know the coordinates, use the Pythagorean Theorem: take the square root of ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2).If you know the coordinates, use the Pythagorean Theorem: take the square root of ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2).If you know the coordinates, use the Pythagorean Theorem: take the square root of ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2).If you know the coordinates, use the Pythagorean Theorem: take the square root of ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2).
