Easily transform polar coordinates (defined by a radius (r) and an angle (θ)) into their equivalent Cartesian coordinates (X and Y values). Our online tool provides instant, accurate conversions, perfect for students, engineers, and anyone working with coordinate systems in mathematics and physics.
Formula:
The formulas to convert polar coordinates (r, θ) to Cartesian coordinates (x, y) are:
- x = r ⋅ cos(θ)
- y = r ⋅ sin(θ)
Where:
- r is the distance from the origin (radius).
- θ is the angle measured counterclockwise from the positive X-axis.
- x is the horizontal Cartesian coordinate.
- y is the vertical Cartesian coordinate.
