Result
Polar to Rectangular Conversion Convert polar coordinates (r, θ) to rectangular (x, y). Formulas: x = r·cos(θ), y = r·sin(θ). Same as Cartesian; used interchangeably. — free online calculator.
Formula
- Polar to Rectangular Calculator calculates its result from Rate (decimal), Angle θ. It uses the formula x = r·cos(θ), y = r·sin(θ). Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Rate, Angle θ. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Polar to Rectangular
- Rate: 0.05 decimal
- Angle θ: 3
Using Rate (decimal) = 0.05, Angle θ = 3, the calculated result is 0.0070560004.
