Easily convert polar coordinates (r, θ) to rectangular (Cartesian) coordinates (x, y) with our intuitive online calculator. Simply input the radial distance 'r' and angle 'θ' (in degrees or radians) to get instant results, simplifying complex transformations for geometry and trigonometry problems.
Formula:
To convert polar coordinates (r, θ) to rectangular coordinates (x, y), use the following formulas:
- x = r ⋅ cos(θ)
- y = r ⋅ sin(θ)
Where:
- r is the radial distance from the origin to the point.
- θ (theta) is the angle (in degrees or radians) measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis to the line segment connecting the origin to the point.
- x is the horizontal rectangular coordinate.
- y is the vertical rectangular coordinate.
