Convert rectangular points to polar

The video tutorial covers plotting points in the third quadrant, calculating distances using the formula X^2 + Y^2 = R^2, and determining angles with tangent functions. It emphasizes mental math over calculator reliance and discusses strategies for handling multiple choice questions, including understanding reference angles and angle reflections. The session concludes with a brief break.

What is the formula used to find the distance in polar coordinates?

How do you determine the angle Theta using the tangent function?

What is the reference angle when the tangent of Theta equals sqrt 3?

If the angle is 60 degrees, what is the corresponding angle in the third quadrant?

Explain how to find the negative version of an angle in polar coordinates.
