Converting Coordinates between Polar and Rectangular
KEY NAME DESCRIPTION
Rectangular to
Polar
Converts rectangular (x,y) coordinates into polar (r,θ). Note that
angles are expressed in degrees, radians or gradians as indicated on
the status line.
e.g.:
R
è
P( 1 , 1 )
followed by
↵
yields (1.41,45.00)
Note that if the result line is in rectangular (x,y) format, entering
P
è
R(
followed by
↵
converts that value into polar (r,θ) format.
Polar to
Rectangular
Converts polar (r,θ) coordinates into rectagualar (x,y). Note that
angles are entered as degrees, radians or gradians as indicated on the
status line.
e.g.:
P
è
R( 1.41 , 45 )
followed by
↵
yields (1.00,1.00)
Note that if the second line is in polar (r,θ) format, entering
R
è
P(
followed by
↵
converts that value into rectangular (x,y) format.
