Polar Coordinates

Converting Polar Coordinates to Cartesian

The point ( 12 , 3 π 4 ) \left(12, \frac{3\pi}{4} \right) in polar coordinates can be expressed as ( a , b ) (a, b) in Cartesian coordinates, where a a and b b are real numbers. What is the value of a b ? -ab?

Suppose that ( a , π 6 ) (一个\压裂{\π}{6}) in polar coordinates represents the same point as ( b , 7 ) (b, 7) in Cartesian coordinates. What is the value of a 2 + b 2 a^2+b^2 ?

P = ( 24 , π 3 ) P=(24, \frac{\pi}{3}) in polar coordinates can be expressed as P = ( a , b ) P=(a, b) in Cartesian coordinates. What is the value of a + b 2 a+b^2 ?

If point P P is given in polar coordinates as P = ( 10 , 3 π 4 ) , P=\left(-10, \frac{3\pi}{4}\right), what are the Cartesian coordinates of P ? P?

In polar coordinates, the graph of r = 46 sin ( θ ) r = 46 \sin(\theta) is a circle. What is the radius of this circle?
