CALCULATOR
Polar to Cartesian Coordinate Calculator
Polar to Cartesian Coordinate. Coordinate to return: X coordinate, Y coordinate only. Example: Radius: 2 m, Angle: 30 degrees, Coordinate to return: 1 selection gives 1.73205080757 m. Positive radius and signed degree angle; selected x or y output, switch coordinate to obtain both. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage. Input domains and output unit must be
Positive radius and signed degree angle; selected x or y output, switch coordinate to obtain both. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage. Input domains and output unit must be visible. Derivation: Resolve a radius along orthogonal Cartesian axes.
Accepted inputs: Radius: 0.001 to 10,000 m; Angle: -360 to 360 degrees; Coordinate to return: choose X coordinate (1), Y coordinate (2).
How the calculation works
x=r cosθ; y=r sinθ
Worked example
With radius 2 m, angle 30 degrees, coordinate to return X coordinate, polar to cartesian coordinate is 1.732050808 m.
Assumptions and limits
Positive radius and signed degree angle; selected x or y output, switch coordinate to obtain both. Only this original stated job is proposed, not full historical source coverage. Input domains and output unit must be visible. Derivation: Resolve a radius along orthogonal Cartesian axes.
