Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert Cartesian coordinates $(6,8)$ to polar coordinates, we use the formulas $r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$ and $\theta = \arctan(\frac{y}{x})$. Here, $r = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = 10$ and $\theta = \arctan(\frac{8}{6}) = \arctan(\frac{4}{3})$, which is approximately $0.927$ radians.
