Find the rectangular coordinates of the point with the polar coordinates. ordered pair negative 7 comma 2 pi divided by 3

The rectangular coordinates of the point with polar coordinates (7, 2·π/3) is (-3.5,  3.5·√3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polar coordinates is (7, 2·π/3)

Where, the 7 represent the distance, r, from the point of reference and 2·π/3, the angle, θ, from the reference point.

Polar coordinates are represented in rectangular form by the equivalence transformation equation given as follows;

The x-coordinate = Radius, r × cos(θ), which gives

We note that 2·π/3 radians = 2 × 180/3 = 120°

x = 7 × cos(2·π/3) = 7 × cos(120°) = 7 × (-0.5) = -3.5

x = -3.5

The y-coordinate = Radius, r × sin(θ), which gives

x = 7 × sin(2·π/3) = 7 × sin(120°) = 7 × (√3)/2 = 3.5·√3

y = 3.5·√3

Therefore, the rectangular coordinates of the point with polar coordinates (7, 2·π/3) is (-3.5, 3.5·√3).
